And the sky could fall to there chicken little. Contracts have been voided, pensions have been lost nothing is in stone.
The DGI will be essentially the same as the SSP. Just an interview with a thumbs up or down. If 9e decides to throw out the SSP this place will become just like the other mediocre regionals. Pilots bailing for any ULCC or “flow”
Regional. Having that interview slows attrition and they know it.

Email from Joe Miller said they are aware of folks being eligible in September of this year. He said they’re committed to making this program happen and ironing out the details. After meeting him in person and speaking to him at length, I actually have trust they will have this squared away for us. He seems like a real solid dude IMO

I was directly responding to the poster that said the SSP and the DGI have nothing to do with each other and that the SSP language doesn’t stop the implementation of the DGI. My point was the fact that the SSP language stating that no other program can start until the SSP is over, is contractual language and has to be complied with.

I wasn’t talking about how good or bad the DGI compared to a flow. Both programs are more about staffing regionals then moving them to mainline.

These are all improvements. The most important being another chance for the SSP guys.


For those that didnt check their email. Big news with the DGI.

To: All Endeavor Pilots
From: Joe Miller, COO
Russ Elander, Vice President, Operations
Subject: Enhancements to the Delta Guaranteed Interview Program
Over the past few months, leaders from Endeavor have been working with Delta Flight Ops to finalize details surrounding the Delta Guaranteed Interview (DGI) Program. The DGI places Endeavor pilots ahead of the thousands who desire to fly at Delta. Through the DGI Program, Endeavor pilots will have an opportunity to join the 780 Endeavor pilots who have already been hired at Delta during the past four years.
Today, we are sharing exciting improvements made to this exclusive hiring commitment between Endeavor and Delta. Some of the highlights of the DGI program for Endeavor pilots who are interested in participating include:
·Endeavor pilots must meet all position and hiring requirements of Delta Air Lines which can be found at https://www.deltajobs.net/pilots.htm.
oParticipants will be required to participate in Delta’s full selection process which includes testing, interview and psychological evaluation.
·We reduced the Captain flying time requirement - an Endeavor Pilot must now have only 18 months as a Captain at Endeavor versus the previous requirement of 24 months.
·We doubled the number of names to be sent to Delta each month for interviews, increasing from 12 to 24.
·Former SSP eligible Endeavor pilots who either did not participate in SSP, or who were unsuccessful with the SSP interview process, will receive one opportunity to participate in the DGI Program.
oSpecific rules surrounding former SSP pilots are outlined in the DGI Program document.
·The DGI Program includes an annual hiring commitment from Delta requiring it to offer a number of positions to Endeavor pilots holding DGI CJOs equal to 33% of Delta’s annual pilot hires, or 180 pilots per year, whichever is less.
The DGI program will provide Endeavor pilots with an opportunity to work at the most respected global airline in the industry. Your individual performance and support of the mainline customer are what makes these types of programs possible.
Thank you for all you do to support the airline, your colleagues, and the customers you fly each day.

Is this in senority order, or every qualifying CA has a chance every month to be 1 the 24 interviews?

VoiceOfReason

Seniority, with that break down of 75% DGI and 25% SSP. The Company can flex those numbers based off eligible pilots.

Not to quibble, but it says 33% or 180 per year, whichever is LESS. That means if they hire more than 540 per, the most they promise to take from Endeavor is 180 per year (about 15 per month). If they also stiff arm OTS hires from Endeavor, they have a nice controlled “flow”.

So much for carrier progression still requred to do all test and requrements apply as if you would come from a street, no diffrence at all,
Thanks delta for nothing
I dont think this is true proggression

How many LCA at other airlines that meet all the requirements still can't even get called for an interview? Hint: a lot.
