I think he might be saying that he interviewed with the computer test, but his class date was later than July 15th (maybe interviewed June/early July but didn't start class until after July 15). Might have had some commitment that required him to not be able to start as early, but took the "test" that is required by Delta for their DPI with the computers and MMPI/Cog/Knowledge tests. Or I could be reading it wrong. That was one thing I was curious about with the way it was worded when it was announced.

Going by class date is one thing, but dates of the interview when you then were offered or accepted a class date is something else. And the way it was announced sounded like it was based on interview date, rather than class date. I would have therefore expected a sprinkling of people who were DPI eligible after the date Compass made the change as they were some of the first to fill up some classes in the future. This eligibility list appears to be just going by class date, which is not the way it was announced on the employee call. Tough break for those affected, and hopefully the company can get those people DPI eligible.

Even though I'm "DPI eligible" myself, I'm not holding out too much hope it'll let me move on faster than those without it (seeing as people who are too junior to qualify for the DPI are already at Delta). I wonder how much having the DPI might cause those senior enough to be on it to choose to not leave for the LCC/ULCC carriers. Since almost everyone eligible for it is already a CA, I wonder if that'll slow CA attrition... If it does, it might slow upgrades a touch...

Who was it that always would say the "HAL flow would be announced this Friday"?

Ps, y'all better get used to not being able to use flaps 4 in the air. It will make your transition to the Republic way of flying the jet much easier...

Also, you have to be currently active (ie. not on long term leave). Interesting that our esteemed DO is eligible, but JS is not.

In any case, RAH is buying us anyways, so none of this will matter next week right?

It’s about the date you were on property from what I am told. Did these test in MSP, delayed the hire date a little and am out of the DPI program. This really should be looked at again and see who completed the interview not just start date.

I interviewed on July 8th, 2015 and took the three part Deltas battery. I’m not saying it was the thing that was going to get me in, but it’d be nice to catch a break for once considering all of the 23 yr olds getting hired (lol).

To me it sounds like this DPI is equal to an instant job fair. It sounds like Delta is just going to pull these apps and score them. I highly doubt that they are stopping everything and only going to score Compass DPI apps for the next year so this whole debacle sounds like some kind of effort to boost morale and maybe even quell some anger against those who were told they had a guaranteed interview.

Yeah this DPI is worthless and not a thing so don't fret if you didn't get it. There's a reason details have been light - management is just straight up lying. My sources in Atlanta are completely bewildered.

From the sounds of it on a different site, no need to worry about this. It's not a real thing unfortunately.

I'm just gonna hop the fence in Atlanta in my uniform (untucked) and be like "hi I'm here for my preferential interview, where do I sign in?"
