Not so, I just checked airlineapps.

 

[V1andgo]

I been checking all day on the Delta site for an update. A birdy told me the application window would open on the 15th, but my source did not know which of the application services Delta would use. Are you sure about the Airlineapps or could it be AEPS?
Thanks in advance.

 

[xpdriver]

So all you guys that were cussing Delta pilots for concessions and contract stuff make sure you get your apps in...

Oh what was that, you have changed your mind and think Delta is OK now that they are hiring again...lol

 

[Chronic Jetlag]

Sounds like Plato Rhyne is going to cash in again with Airline Apps. Still have to pay to apply! How much $$ did people pay to update and renew their UPAS app on line every year! It's a shameful act for airlines to continue to charge pilots just to apply.

second that

How much does it cost to appy?

 

[GogglesPisano]

I paid $100 to apply at AA back in '99. Felt good at the time. And it is a tax deduction.

 

[GogglesPisano]

What are the contractual raises over the life of the DL pilot contract?

 

[FlyComAirJets]

And leave a few of those apps in the LGA Pilots Lounge while your at it!

 

[Fins Up]

When I was using Airlineapps last year, you were allowed to do one free application per username. If you only plan on applying to one company through them then it's good. Any other free ones would require new usernames and retyping the application.

I don't think it's very expensive to pay for the service so you can send the same application, with whatever changes you deem necessary, out to as many companies as you want.

Nice.....

Hopefully your kind won't be welcome when the apps pour in.....

Then again, being your F/O would make me want to leave too.....

Everyone else, good luck!!

 

[FlyComAirJets]

I'm sure we'll be as welcome as the Eastern pilots were. Riiiiiight.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

I'm sure we'll be as welcome as the Eastern pilots were. Riiiiiight.

You said it......not me!!!

Don't worry, apps with Comair on them will see extra scrutiny.....

"but it's not us, it was management!!".....sound familiar??

Good luck to everybody but Comair, we need pilots, not academy grads!!

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I talked to one of their pilots on the interview board a few days ago. From what they were saying, finance would not give them the money to sign a contract with an application vendor. They have been waiting on this for at least two months. I have not seen any indication that the status has changed.

 

[Sonny Crockett]

OUCH!

Oh baloney. To suggest that Delta management actually takes advice from Delta pilots about anything is contradicted by practically every management - pilot interaction of the last few years.

I've got news for you, Lumberg: those pilot interviewers you think you have in your pocket are all management and don't much care what you think.

Give it a rest. Delta's hired plenty of Comair pilots, many more Comair pilots than Eastern pilots, I would say.

Wrong. I have spoken with Delta pilots who will be involved in the selection process. From my understanding, they have good memories.

Hey, there are other airlines to apply to... Jet Blue is hiring onto the E190.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I can tell you from talking to their board, they do have long memories and they have not forgotten what the Comair MEC did to thier furloughed pilots. That does not mean they will not hire you, it just means that you will have to answer some tough questoins in the interview.

 

[sgu]

Agreed, Comair pilots will face some intense scrutiny when it comes to selection for jobs at Delta. All you can do is sumbit the app and see what happens.

It's unfortunate that the Comair guys and girls got shelled by their former leadership who weren't going anywhere anyway. Like most airlines it has 99% great people. Too bad the 1% were allowed to put a stink on the company.

 

[N2264J]

Wrong? You've actually spoken with Delta pilots involved in the selection process? You have an understanding? We're all so impressed.

This wouldn't be the first time management blew smoke up the Delta pilot's sphincter love thing. Do you seriously believe management cares one whit about an internal union dispute? They will hire the most qualified applicants who conform to their profile. They could not care less if that applicant comes from Comair.

While you were speaking to Delta pilots involved in the selection process, did you inquire if they asked their MEC why they didn't demand that management have the furloughees hired at Comair without having to resign their seniority number? No? The DMEC adopted a resolution directing Chairman Buergey to investigate that very item with Delta management.

Result: to offset the training costs of putting Delta furloughees in a CRJ seat, the backfill training costs to replace furloughees when they were recalled and the schedule disruption Comair would have bear if dozens of furloughees were recalled at the same time, the Delta pilots would have to give something up out of their contract and they didn't want to down that road.

Solution: get the Comair pilots to give something up out of their contract to change company policy and if they balked, smear them for being mean to the Delta furloughees even as their own MEC abandon their furloughees to maintain what was left of the contract.

Those guys made their bed when they argued so vehemently against the PID.
We're separate. That's what they wanted. They got their wish and Comair is not an employment accumulator for Delta pilots. Go peddle your "We are entitled to a seat on your seniority list" crap to Alaska or Spirit or Midwest Express and let us all know how that turns out.

N22,

We all enjoy your desperate attempt at rewriting history. Just remember, the ASA MEC extended their hand to fellow pilots who were out of work. They did the right thing and several furloughed Delta guys were able to continue flying and feed their families.

If you don't want to work for Delta, don't apply!

If you do, you better put your creative writing to good use and come up with a story of how you did all you could to change the opinions of your MEC and some of your fellow pilots!

I won't personally be involved in the interview process, but I know some that will....and you can bet a$$ that they know the "real" story.

Will it come up in the interview? Who knows...but I wouldn't bet against it.

Abe44

I don't think it will come up overtly in the interview, but it will be quietly understood by those conducting it.

It's a shame that the bad apples at CMR, the RJDC and there supporters have tainted the junior CMR pilots with their stench through their shortsighted effort to attack the collective bargaining process and the collective bargaining agreement of another ALPA pilot group and then their attempt to hold hostage furloughed ALPA pilots.

N22s feeble attempt to rewrite history is just as weak and feeble as the lawsuit and RJDC he supports.

 

[GogglesPisano]

How long have you been in this business? If you think pilots aren't involved in the selection process at every airline you are sadly misinformed.

 

[Nindiri]

It's comforting to know that while Delta pilots have endured multiple huge pay cuts, loss of pensions and other benefits, etc, at least by God their leadership is going to teach those Comair punks a thing or two. A pilot's got to have his priorities, you know.

 

[N2264J]

N22,

ASA management didn't have the same company policy as Comair requiring new hires to resign their seniority number.

 

[N2264J]

That's not what I said. Those pilots involved in the selection process are management. They're doing management's bidding. If you don't believe that, you are sadly misinformed.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Why would a management pilot feel any differently about hiring than the rank and file?

 

[N2264J]

How long have you been in the business? Not too long I'm guessing.

As a union man, do you confide all your secrets in the Chief Pilots? They are just pilots too, aren't they? Why would they think any differently about anything than the rank and file pilots?
