Uhhhh yes they do.

I was never a believer in the SSP, I went to a recent job fair and talked to Delta about the SSP, I wanted to get info about jumping seniority and subjecting myself to the entire interview rather than waiting for my number at 9E and just doing partial interview. I was told my union would be informing us with that info, BUT was then told the time frame they "hope" to have completely gone through the entire 9E seniority list. I was very surprised as to the timeline they stated.. And no it was not anywhere near 10 years like shyguy thinks.. More like half that. I know, I know--- "hope" is a big word....

I hope it works out for you guys, I know back in the "Continental Express" days a lot of guys got screwed but who knows about this deal, it very well may work out great, or not, only time will tell. As far as I am concerned if you're good enough to fly Delta passengers on a CRJ for PNCL, you are good enough to do it in a Dal 737 etc.......

I do wonder about Richard Anderson though, he was Lorenzo's lawyer so I wouldn't exactly call him a "friend of labor" or a friend of PNCL.

Either way, good luck! I personally don't think PNCL is in a bad spot

Don't forget this little gem....................

ii. is potentially qualified to be provided with a conditional job offer but is not competitive with other applicants who had previously or are being provided with conditional job offers.

A reason not to hire RJ FOs, not when Delta is interviewing and hiring RJ CAs from other airlines.

The un-hireable personalities included? Remember, 9E has taken guys without even having any interviews. Straight from an approved college program into a 9E newhire class. There's a big difference between RJ flying and mainline flying. On a RJ, you can hire a bad personality and not have to put up with it for more than an hour to two hours. At Delta, you have 737, 75/76, 777, etc, and have to fly with guys for 7-12+ hours. Here, you need to make sure you weed out as best as possible all the bad personalities.

Nope.. read the bridge agreement. Once they've been through everyone that qualifies, it's over.

So, is it 20 min for interview or in class?

Chances are you see shi+ in almost every situation you encounter. There are a few of you guys on here. Well, guess what? It's over. It is what it is now. What's the point in trying to bring people down when maybe they've accepted it and are moving on?

So does Delta have to hire any or just offer interviews? Could they run through the entire list and only hire a handful? What outs does Delta have to weed out the undesirables?

This is their out...
