So what if we did take the delta battery but according to the list that JS just sent out we don’t have a DPI next to our name? I’m getting really tired of missing a break by a hair every step of my career.

Hell, I'm not even eligible as I did pass their silly tests but only have a community college education. I am willing to sell my slot to the highest bidder though.

I read the posts and I was embarassed, but they're 23, what do you honestly expect? Clearly that's what DL wants. But you just aren't mature yet at age 23, you still have a developing brain, period.
Nobody can sit back and tell me a 23 year old "worked hard" and "earned it". But it isn't their fault either and it's pretty douchey to call them out. It's just a broken system. Good for them that they are the recipients, but don't go bragging about how you will always be senior to me like you did something to deserve it because I'm older. There are 30 year olds getting the call that really didn't do much to deserve it, either.
And let's be real, look at the course catalog for this degree:
Program: Aeronautical Science - Flight, B.S. - Florida Tech - Acalog ACMS?
"Aviation Career Planning 101". What a tough degree... go earn your ratings (with in house certification, not even FAA checkrides...) and get a degree out of the deal. Tell me that's more qualified than someone with a masters degree in an actual academic science, who volunteers with lots of organizations and does stuff for the company, etc, and oh yeah has experience flying left seat at this company and keeps a positive attitude the whole time. Those are the people that ought to be getting called first, sorry, and I don't mean myself. If you're complaining on twitter or forums about your sour life though, there's some introspection required as to why you're not getting called, tho, that's another story altogether..

Yup. Community college gets such a bad rap as being "inferior" to University,but the cost savings are worth it..and I think I learned more in CC than university anyway

When did you interview? If you were hired after a certain date, the test wasn’t the same...for those DPI eligible, the questions were randomized out of the pool of questions DL provided to Compass as part of the JKT. After that certain date our recruiting department picked questions out of that pool and there was no more randomness to it, this was because the test became mobile, thus not requiring interviews in MSP (not needing a computer)...a few other hiring standards were changed as well...the MMPI/Cog went away shortly there after as well

It's closed now but when it does open you go to submit bid under the vacation tab. Once there you can see some links on the left side and one should be available vacation or something. That shows all the open time per base and position. Then you can hit submit bid and put the weeks you want and there's a drop down to put swap for vacation or something. You need to also put your current weeks and use the drop down to choose remove week for swap. Why there's not any published info about this idk.
