He was trying to tell you to chill and instead you went on a rant to tell him he's wrong, interesting.
For clarity, this is a 9E guy currently AT Delta, maybe his opinion is actually pretty worthwhile for what's required to get to Delta.
Lastly, we all know the DGI can't start until the SSP's are gone. (There's some question whether the ETD pilots also hold it up) Last I heard the last SSP's expected to be gone in June. Once the last SSP's are gone there will be something to complain about, until then, it's all speculation. They don't HAVE to tell us a bunch before then; July 1 they could say "send us an email and submit your app to Delta" it's not necessarily a huge process.
But if you want to continue to be all riled up, be my guest.

I've been warned not to post because facts are the last thing that matter online. So while I mockingly thank you and others for your pro-tips, I'm done. Let the [female dog]-boards be the [female-dog]-boards.

What I said was that the DGI wasn't meaningful. Not that it wouldn't start. I did say that there are pilots here qualified and no interview has happened.
Also I'd refer you to my and your previous posts as to what you're "just" saying, and that will clarify the rest of the above.
The DGI, as it stands, will have to change (again). But none of that was what i was referring to. A post was made blaming the union, for the DGI not going. My point was to stop blaming the union. As ive said for a while, you chose to come here with a dgi that had no contractual binding.
On one of my post i was corrected about no one being eligible, which is factually incorrect, and i replied. You came in shortly after needing to correct my attitude.
My point is and remains don't blame the union or even other pilots for this DGI not being what it was sold as. There are far too many opportunities, and if you aren't happy here leave. I have no problem showing up here for work, doing my job, and getting that check (my favorite part).
Now if I'm not positive enough for you, in my viewpoint that's a "you" problem not a "me" problem.

If he's eligible for the DGI now, according to the DGI document (which makes no reference to the SSP in the eligibility criteria or timing), and he's not receiving his DGI now, then that's very much something to complain about.

The SSP has wording regarding successor programs and when they can start movement.

If Al makes me a promise (a "guaranteed" one, at that) to do something for me in exchange for something I did for him, and he doesn't hold up his end, that's on him. Whatever deal he has with Bob that's preventing him from following through, is between Al and Bob, not between Al and me. If that's the impediment, then Al made a promise he couldn't keep, and I'm left holding the bag.

I'm talking about DGI wording, not SSP wording. SSP has nothing to do with it.

There is a line formed. You don’t get to go the front of it. When the line is gone you can interview and if all goes well exchange your uniform.

The DGI can be taken away completely tomorrow if the company wants to do that, because it was never signed by our collective bargaining agent which is ALPA. The company can also change the terms and conditions on that document on a whim, because it wasn’t signed by ALPA. This isn’t a knock on ALPA, the goal is to get something better. Hopefully ALPA achieves that goal.

The SSP is contractual, the DGI is not. The company has to comply with the wording of the SSP. It states that the SSP must be complete before any other program starts.

It does reinforce the importance of getting a promise in writing, and also undermines the worth of a casual, non-contractual one. "Guaranteed" in the title notwithstanding.
