Respectfully, you’re jumping to conclusions when time is all that is needed to see how this shakes out.

Lastly, I’m not declaring anything right or wrong. I’m just imploring you not to condemn the DGI to failure just yet.

We’re now debating in circles. I will remain optimistic that the DGI will be a success.

Happy New Year to you.

Well you should tell this guy that:
I dont think anyone has trouble understanding youre going to remain optimistic but I'm not jumping to conclusions. When we forecasted the DGI was going to be good, same, or worse than the SSP that was jumping to conclusions. Weve got data now, we're simply drawing conclusions based on facts.

What we can all agree to is that we hope its 90-100% from now on. And a Happy New Year to you

You don't have much experience in statistics, do you? Because you wouldn't try to make this a "fact based conclusion" discussion if you had. There simply isn't enough data from such a small number of interviews. So yes, you are very much jumping to conclusions.

You caught me in some double-speak and I apologize. I retract my "I'm declaring anything right or wrong" statement. If it matters that was probably due to multi-tasking and not fully concentrating on my response. Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, I stand by my other statement that you shouldn't declare it as mediocre. Believe it or not I think you're too optimistic about 90-100%. My final predication in all of this is about a 75-80% pass rate for the DGI.

The one thing we haven't discussed is the individual pilot's role in getting hired. We can't just assume every candidate is unsuccessful because of mean ol' Delta. Sometimes even the best of the best just have a bad day or they are simply not up to the task. I'm sure you know that but I also think it's unfair to chalk up any future dismal pass rate to bad hiring techniques by Delta.

I mean, weve always blamed the SSP pilots on here, and it's starting again. I don't think you need to rev anyone up for that.

Two things. One the pass rate is mediocre, i hadn't gone so far as to label the DGI as mediocre and that maybe others should hold off before cheering the pass rate. Second, and I know I'm being accused of being dumb with stats, but if youre thinking the average will come up to 75 without something close to a 90% month, then I challenge your math.

If you don’t follow the Tito dude on FB, I recommend you do. He usually posts every interview day’s stats. There are plenty of days where 11 out of 12 or 10 out of 13, for example, get the day 1 CJO. Because the existing DGI sample is very small, it will not take many 90-100% interview days to get up to my predicted 75-80% pass rate.

I subscribe to a more personal responsibility mindset so, yeah, I don’t agree there’s any kind of Delta hiring conspiracy going on. On that front, as the DGI gains traction I think we’ll naturally see an increase in success rate as candidates get the word out.

So you're saying i was proposing a conspiracy?

GuardPolice

Not you but let’s just say I’ve read/heard from various sources indicating there’s a belief that Delta has purposefully torpedoed many careers to keep 9E staffed.

Green Needles

Delta has torpedoed many careers because cheap pilots that fly Delta passengers on Delta owned airplanes are better for profits than expensive pilots wearing gold buttons, hats, and widgets.

As long as we're clear its not me. You wanna pick old fights on old subjects because this one is too boring at least ring a bell so i can duck out.
