'bubba,

This Propel thing will take years to play out but I'd guess it'll have a LOT of fine print making it more or less The World's Longest Job Interview with no giveaways. I'd be surprised to see DL institute a "flow" in the Envoy-AA mode.

An inkling of the DL mindset can be gleaned from the details of their now defunct Endeavor-to-Delta program (I lost track of what became of it). Warning: there's a danger of large clumps of your brain cells imploding in death spasms of boredom while reading it:
