[QUOTE=Flycameron;1758877]If they are military then they are exempt from having to get TPIC time. The guys that your talking about almost always seem to be military but a civi with no TPIC is pretty rare. It happens but very rarely. Usually their dad use to work there or something else seems to stand out on their app but Delta knows what they are doing and to say that it's all about networking is a slap in the face.[/QUOTE]
Where did I ever say it's all about networking? What I have said is that the matrix/points weighting system that so many people come here and defend doesn't hold water with SOME of the applicants that have posted their credentials.

12 Endeavor SSP's (indefinitely, supposed to rise in the future, that airline might not exist in 2 years)
That's 32-41 of each month's 100 or so slots.
Mil guys in off the street interviews have the advantage for a while, once the civ programs abate it will be much more evenly balanced in the interview process. Good luck to all.

Concerning compass. My understanding is they have approximately 160 that will be given a flow left this year. Then they are done with the guaranteed flow guys. Could someone in the know give facts concerning this?

Lear you are correct...there are appx 160 left from compass to flow starting in jan if delta is hiring (which they are forecasting). They will take at least 120 pilots in 2015, the rest will either be on the tail end of it if they decide to just take them all to end the flow, or the remaining 40 will be in 2016. This is all related to the size of the pilot group at compass, someone probably knows more about it than I do.

Wait in the SSP line is mis-placed entitlement at best.
