So if I’m understanding this correctly, once you meet all requirements stipulated within the agreement and you have completed eighteen months of active service as a Captain, you will be offered an interview at Delta. The agreement states that it will meter the amount to fifteen pilots on average per month. My question is, does the metering take place before you interview (meaning you have to wait in seniority order to interview), or you interview right away and then, if you’re offered a CJO, you wait in seniority order?

This is a huge carrot that will help get eligible FOs to upgrade. My concern is the language in the agreement implies a hiring pool of at least 1 year...

Following selection, movement to Delta is metered to 15 a month and the flow is in the order of interview month (again sorted by seniority within that interview month.)

Stop trying to make this out to be such a road block to one's career. I'd gladly take my number and wait in line to make the move. Will still be a faster mainline transition for me than where I was at my previous gig.
