Earning Status Quick Probation Programs
I remember back in the day they had a program called probation???
You could call Delta and they would let you earn status by completing like 10k miles in like 6 months???
I recently started a new job and haven't been in the game for a while.
Sorry if the question is boring to the Pro's.

Hey Welcome to Flyertalk!
They offer that for status challenging from another airline. Check this site out for the details

Most of the airline offers of status matches and status challenges (as DL does) require that you already have status in some competing carrier (normally not in the same alliance) on their list. Some of these programs let you sue the new status during the challenge period, which seems to be what you mean by probation.

Several months ago, anticipating a change in the travel patterns of our long-distance marriage, I contacted Delta to ask about a status challenge for my wife. They gave me a flat no. They will status match (but I think only once per traveler) but you have to have status on the other carrier, and I think only UA, AA, and US count.
By "status challenge" I meant that she would not have status immediately, but would get it by completing a lesser requirement in a shorter period of time, like 10 segments in 90 days. But they would not consider it.
