Qualified yes, but Delta doesn't hire like that. They hire cultural fit pilots, which they will run out of, in about a year. The EtD saw 800+ qualified apps, but only 10 were a Delta fit.
You need to qualify that those people were applying to Endeavor. That's a different demographic.

Actually, they applied to Delta, and got the apply at 9E email. Our EtD guys are extremely qualified military commanders with thousands of hours. The willingness to allow 9E to die on the vine because they won't compromise is interesting.
That doesn't add up. Why did none of my military friends get told that?
Why would DAL let us become less efficient and increase the need for more pilots when they are aware of a quickly diminishing pilot pool? Not going to happen on this contract or the next.

Flight Dispatch Release Acknowledgement (FDRA) Process
The Flight Dispatch Release Acknowledgement (FDRA) process is being revised to allow crews to complete the FDRA hand-off much earlier in the departure process. This change will allow ACS personnel to focus more attention on passenger accommodations and the proper flight close-out process during a high workload time by eliminating the requirement to visit the flight deck to retrieve the FDRA. The Captain is jointly responsible with the gate agent to ensure the proper completion of the FDRA and the collection of all signatures is accomplished. The ACS agent will not close the main cabin door until receipt of the FDRA and the required verbal confirmation by the Captain is obtained. An All Pilot Bulletin defining specific procedures will be published and distributed prior to implementation.
Years ago, at American, my wife was working First Class on the DC-10. Agent's in a rush, wife says we can't go, agent closes the door.
No Pilots on board.
