~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,
Military or non-military background...if you meet the airline's requirements (all of the requirements) then you can apply for employment. Back when Delta was hiring, I saw a mix of mil and civilian pilots. My new hire class was about 60/40 mil/civ. Several from ASA. Last time I checked, the company did the hiring...not DALPA.
So, if a merger of lists is going to happen where do you start? What if some DCI pilots do not meet the Delta hiring requirements? Do you split off them off? My guess is the senior DCI pilots want a DOH seniority #, ie, they want something for nothing. What about the former DCI pilots that left DCI, interviewed and were hired, and now get displaced by a DCI pilot who electedto stay at DCI.
No point in getting into a mil vs civ arm wrestle about who is better...once you get there, it just doesn't matter, cause the airline world is a non-merit seniority system.
I have jumpseated on many, many DCI flights with senior CA's and FO's who are very happy with where they are. Wrote LOR's for some of them to get interviews and passed on interview info. I have also been interrogated by a couple of CA's about RJDC and merger issues. One of my favorites involved a CA grilling me about SCOPE and job security....then he asked me what equipment I was on as I thanked him for the ride home...told him I just flew my last trip and was getting furloughed...PRICELESS look on his face.
TK is the bottom man on the seniority list...hired in Jul 2001.
