I could see where you might think that. Take a look at the union email from 1/10/13 when they where selling this turd. To be eligible to attend that interview under the SSP, you must be, or have been, a Captain at Pinnacle (or on leave holding a Captain position) at the time of your selection. I was also told from numerous reps that was the case. If you read the SSP it states that you must be a current CA.

Exactly. ALPA leaders lied at the roadshows to get this turd passed. Now leadership is saying that indeed as it was written in the LOA, you must be CURRENTLY a captain (or have an approved leave while as captain). Anyone downgrading will NO LONGER be a part of the SSP unless they return to a captain position. Similarly if anyone that was on leave as a captain comes back to the line but has to do so as fo, they then are no longer part of the SSP unless they get a captain position back.

This SSP b!tch fest is a non factor anyway.
Firstly, once the initial Captains start going to DAL through the SSP there will be upgrades, so you would most likely be a Captain by the time your number was ever called anyway.
Secondly, they can hire 1/3 of their 12 outside the SSP (just like applying off the street, you just need to meet DAL hiring criteria), so FO's could be part of that mix also.
But continue with your whining, ShyGuy should join your howling any minute, just like a pack of coyotes.

As per the delta hiring staff at recent job fairs - No, they absolutely will not be FO's. They acknowledge that they "can" hire 1/3 out of SSP order, they however have no interest in doing so. Minus the possibility of being someones kid you will go in order.

They can do whatever they want, but the opportunity exists.
