Oh but while you wait for that keep doing the best job possible at Air Wisconsin flying our passengers around"
That has a way of putting a bad taste in your mouth when you then have to go back to flying (fill in the brand) light. If I'm not good enough to fly at Mainline, I shouldn't be considered good enough to fly at the express/connection carrier either, especially with how much all the airlines go out of their way to hide the difference to the passengers.

Of course that would suck. How many SSPers were given this speech? Far be it for me to challenge the accuracy of that info but if it's a one sided story then I have to wonder. If the Delta manager in charge of hiring actually said this then it's way out of his known character which is one of high standards.
What's the grand total percentage of successful SSP interviews? I'm wondering because I don't know and have never seen it published anywhere.

As for being "against DCI", we're just against the outsourcing of our jobs that's all. We're not "against Alaska" we're just against DL management filling up half the seats on 14 flights a day between a single city pair without us flying it once (that's an extreme example and has been corrected due to market forces but not due to our scope and that needs to change to prevent it from occurring in the future).

S airlines doesn't have Delta 200s expiring this year though.
Every year we have had and are scheduled to have planes come off contract.

I bet the average "off the street" hire puts in some massive hours preparing for a DL/UA/AA/etc interview. What percentage of the SSP (especially early ones) did that in your honest opinion? In any case I don't see DL management ever going for a flow when there are other ways to get as many pilots from pretty much any regional that they want. YMMV.

Our current CP and ex MEC chair couldn't pass the SSP.
I'm sure he had a bad attitude also. A hypothetical flow pilot would still have to pass training and probation. Wouldn't that weed out problems? Seems like HR is worried about job security and mainline pilots are worried their s--it smells the same as ours.
