I interviewed on 5 Sep. Got the "you're in the loony bin" email on the 7th. A review board met in early September which I did not meet. The next board was not until Oct 2nd. The board convenes only when there are enough people to justify the convening of the board (i.e. no onesies twosies..) There were 7 people at my board and most of them were military.
I don't' know when the next board is going to meet. I talked to Adrian Gomez two days ago and she had been instructed (not by A.K) to not divulge when the dates of the boards are because it puts to "much pressure" on "them." She would not say who "them" is/are, but I could tell she was frustrated with the process because she said something to the effect of "we're dealing with people's lives and we are keeping them in the dark too long." My guess is that Delta lawyers are sticking to their guns about this process and it ABSOLUTELY SUCKS to sit in the dark and not hear anything for six weeks (41 days).
I finally was notified this morning and was told I passed the review and am re-entered into the hiring process which was held up 6 weeks ago. The cleared to train email should come next week. I just wonder how many line numbers have passed by because of this hold up. The Delta office knew about my job offers from CAL and UAL and that I needed to find out something soon to make a decision.
For those of you in the loony holding pattern, all I can really say is hang in there and hope that cooler and calmer heads prevail. I have absolutely no idea how the review process works. I would recommend seeking other avenues of employment and continue to "hope for the best, yet prepare for the worst."
I will not say to be patient and everything will work because you never know and I am not one to give false hope. It was very hard waiting this long and I'm glad the process is over so I can start finalizing what I decisions I will make.
Please feel free to PM me and if you want, I'll provide my phone number if anyone wants to talk about this process. I don't claim to know more than the next guy, but I am still willing to chat about it if anyone wants to.
