No surprise
Propel up and running, application windows open and still nothing out about dgi. Wonder how long before we get an update on those career progression “negotiations” or anything on the program in place that hasn’t taken anyone.

As retirements in the majors skyrockets and is sustained, I wonder will that pry a significant amount of the lifers out of their warm secure seats?

More than 10k hours takes points off your application score at Delta. It doesn’t “blackball” you.

It's Delta's ball. They get to make the rules of the game, but let's not try to lipstick the pig here. Experienced pilots are getting the shaft.

This goes to the broader point that they don’t only look at flight time. It’s all but a certainty that these high time pilots lack other important things on their resume. Or they half-ass the application and it’s riddled with errors and omissions.
In the end, the high time isn’t the only thing that’s a deal killer just like so many other things on an application.
