Delta bails out Republic?

The amount of pilots that actually make it through is ridiculously low as well. Something like 10%?

The SSP is at a 50-60% success rate. That program is set to end sometime this year with the last eligible pilot interviewing. Those hired today get the DGI, which no one has been interviewed under yet. It'll be the full two day interview process after the candidate has served for two years as an Endeavor captain. The DGI currently has no date of expiration, other than it is attached to our contract which expires at the end of 2018. Those of us hired January 1st, 2015 to August 1st, 2015 currently have no interview at Delta.

Daddy D has made it EXTREMELY clear that they want to screen all of their pilot candidates. They're happy with our performance, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a flow to ever happen at any current or future Delta wholly owned.

Read between the lines- this is a plan for DAL to get the C-Series delivery slots/priority that Republic has with Bombardier.

You heard it here first.

Well, maybe... but probably only if DAL bails out Bombardier too!

Is it even in the contract? My understanding is that the DGI isn't even in stone in the JCBA at this point.
 
The DGI is a Delta program, it is not in the contract.

The SSP (first interviews) should be ending in the next few months. Second interviews will still happen for some time.

My guess is those that are in "interview purgatory" will see a program formalize as the SSP winds down.

Many ETD guys still around? They get a guarenteed flow right after the SSP guys right?

EtD guys would have been hired what, sometime in late 2014 to 2015? If so, and the fleet plan for the year remains as it is now, they'll probably be looking at upgrade by the end of the year or early in 2017
