If hired you will not be protected by a no furlough clause. The only protection you will be afforded will be the flow down that is "currently" in place with Mesaba and Compass.
There are two layers of protection for pilots on property in regard to no furlough protection, Neither will apply to a new hire.

... and if anyone gets mad at the Delta "new hires" for dissin' the flow, you can be comforted by the fact 99.9999% of the returning furlough bypass guys are senior to the Delta bubbas that post here.
Isn't there a limit on returning from bypass? Aren't we right at that limit? These guys bypassed a bankrupt carrier that looked really bad. Things are different now and with the SLI many will go from DC9B to the 767.
240 doesn't make me as comfortable as the typical "hiring for the foreseeable future" statements that usually precede new hire classes.

Apparently neither did Cycle Pilot but he/she still got the job. Is it in writing somewhere or told to the interviewers to deduct points for a non red tie. That's what I'm asking because I've heard that about many airlines and people still get hired without wearing it.
People get hired all of the time without a Red tie, but it does not hurt. There is an urban legend for a reason. Go with it.

I do have a confession to make. For I have sinned, I did not wear a blue suit. I wore my favorite suit, a dark grey almost black suit.
So maybe I just got lucky. You never know how close you came to not getting hired but I always thank God I did, its a great job.
But Eric, I know what your asking, is this whole Delta red tie thing for real? Evidently, it has been for many many years. It is not the end all, but like Dal4ever said it is a tradition and I think it speaks to an applicants desire to be hired by their willingness to research the gouge of a Delta interview.

One other thing, when our scheduling system was designed, it was designed to handle fluctuations in flying. There were a bunch of guys that complained last year about not flying as much, but that was part of the system's design to avoid furloughs. There are the other economic incentives that have been listed here regarding RJ's. Overall, there is no such thing as a "no furlough" clause. You can just make it more economical for the company not to furlough.

BTW, my suit was a dark charcoal gray with a very, very subtle crosshatch pattern. I did wear the red tie, though.
My advice: Wear whatever suit and tie that makes you most comfortable and confident (within reason, of course). At the end of the day, it's how you perform at the interview, not how you dressed up for it.
