You'd be surprised how people's minds are changed on day one of indoc after their first sip of kool aid. Or after they hear that they'll hold a line out of training on the 88.
As far as your response I quoted above..... HOPEFULLY Delta weeds people with attitudes like yours out. I was overall pretty impressed with how professional the organization was when I was in ATL. The number one guy in a class might select the 88, 2-4 might select the 717, then none of this "where you sit on the list" matters. You're on property at Delta Air Lines. You fly whatever you want in one year (a few exceptions, B777, 350, etc.). Be happy you're here. Leave your attitude you displayed in your above post at home. Nobody wants to work with someone like that.
Also, in your case I would pay close attention to the social media policy in Indoc. It isn't that difficult to figure out who you are if they want to. Good luck dude, and seriously leave that attitude at home. Otherwise I hope they find you in your first 399 hours and take care of it.
LOL----after positing I realized you don't even have half of the 60 people in your class. Proving your efforts futile and a waste of time. Hell, I guess throw me on the list for March 24. My last four are 9998. I'll be taking whatever plane you wanted.

Dude. Chill. Yes, there are reasons a SSN rack and stack might be worthless. And, yes, there are some valid reasons it might be helpful. TCPhoenix is not the only one acting with, as you say, "attitude". For example, you might want to take a look at the last sentence you wrote. Most uncool.
Next!....

Are you are are you not on our seniority list yet? That's a valid question because you went off on that dude as if you have some high mighty experience at Delta. I'm not defending his statements, but I find it highly hypocritical that you are advising him on posting on social media while telling him they could find out who he is. Why wouldn't that apply to you?
Bottom line is people have bad days. It doesn't affect you if he spends free time into doing this. People have made these lists before. Again, not defending his aggressive posts. Just pointing out you appear to be doing the same thing.

I wasn't gonna comment on these last few posts, but I can't help it. Y'all need to take a step back and relax. There was more than enough 'tude going around. Whether you already are here or waiting for a class date, just enjoy. Guys wanna make lists, who cares. you guys are coming on at a great time. Enjoy the ride, because it can and sometimes does get bad.
So, however positive or negative you want to be is up to you. This is a great thread and I like to read it because of all the positive energy in it. There are enough negative threads already here. Let's not ruin this one.
And before anyone asks if I'm a poolie, no, I'm not. I'm just a guy who's been through the bad times at Delta and am now enjoying the good times. Yes, they are, the TA notwithstanding. I'm also the guy who will be completing your new hire evaluations and buying you a beer if you aren't "that guy."

So how often are we evaluated? Never thought about that. All I here is "seniority", "seniority", "seniority". I guess there's gotta be something "evaluated" to move us off of probation? Any more after probation removal?

The format requires the captain to make remarks if he rates you below of above average--as a result, just about everyone is average. Really shine, you'll get a "plus"; really suck, you'll get "minus"; either way, it's taken in context with all of your evals (i.e., one personality conflict resulting in a downgrade won't affect you). You have four mandatory meetings with the chief pilots during probation; reviewing your evals is one piece of what they do at those meetings.
