Not quite the same thing since at the regionals back then you were already hired. I guess you could argue the hiring was conditional, but still you knew going in what those conditions were. The Delta ATP program is completely separate entity from being a Delta employee. Basically the order (maybe) matters: you’re hired, now pay for training, vs pay for training, now you’re hired...
