Just a note for all you guys waiting for a call from Brian Bolt. DO NOT CALL HIM. I am in class with him right now and last week he told us about someone calling his cell phone wondering why he didn't make it in the Dec class. Brian was shocked. If you haven't figured it out Brian is basically your boss while you are a new hire here in training. You don't want Brian to already have noticed you in a negative light ahead of Day1. Brian mentioned that he wrote this guys name down specifically after the phone call. Big mistake for whoever that was.
By the way - Brian is also an awesome guy, you guys will love him! He really takes care of the classes and has a great perspective on the future of this company. An inspiration from day 1. Enjoy!

You have a boss while a pilot at DAL? He gets upset when someone calls asking a question? Sounds like ALPA needs to get involved to put this intimidation to a stop. Wonder how the general would feel?
That is really stupid.

Guys he is one of the few the pulls all of the strings in DAL hiring. After the pilots give you the nod he takes over. If you piss in his Cheerios, I guarantee you that it will follow your employment jacket to your retirement day. He takes notes about everyone in class and they are forwarded to the CP's
Note to the wise. No cross talk in class, no getting up when class is in session, be back from breaks on time, etc. He takes note of that and it would be best if you just did not do it. Make it easy for yourselves. Be a saint and there will be noting to worry about.
Remember that DAL had 45 mins with you. He gets two weeks. If he sees an issue, they will look at it and take care of it. I have seen it happen. He is a awesome person, but do not take advantage of that.

Do you call the room to attention when he walks in? How often does he check to see if your shoes are shined? Does he remind you of Neidermayer from Animal House?
I'm just toying with y'all, of course.

Yeah, well, calling the office phone is one thing, but if someone called me on my cell phone hounding me about a class date, I'd be pretty PO'd, too.
Making an a$$ of yourself in new-hire training is foolish at any company, especially if you do it in front of someone involved in the hiring process. And it's not unreasonable to be expected to turn off your cell phone, put away the newspaper, don't stick gum under your desk, etc. during class.
And if the Delta culture bothers you that much, check out the flip side of the coin where the guy sitting next to me in recurrent (different airline) spent the entire morning eating during class. This guy had the works - Thermos, silverware, and different courses in labeled Tupperware containers. I was just waiting for the instructor to say, "Excuse me...I hate to interrupt your lunch, but we're trying to do some training here." He never said a word. I was just about to ask the guy WTF when I found out he was a 777 FO....

He sounds like he used to be a flight attendant trainer...These mealy little fastidious types slay me....he must be gay[/quote]
What the hell does being Gay have to do with ANYTHING? People who make those stupids comments are usually the ones trying to draw attention away from thier own closeted selves. For what it's worth....I've seen Brians wife....and SHE is smokin HOT.

DUDE...we can see from you numerous posts on this subject that you're anxious to hear back. Delta has their own timetable for who goes in which class. Take a deep breath, and just ride it out for a few more days or weeks. Everyone on this forum has had to play the waiting game at various times...chill out, my man. Hit the gym or heavy bag...or something.

Tico,
You have no idea what you are talking about. First, Brian is a straight up great guy. He really cares a lot about the new hire classes and puts in a lot of time to make everything work well. Comments like your quote do not speak well for you.

Didn't you give UAL a shot? It seems if one is not UAL material then they are DAL material and vice versa. They guy that get offers from both must be a The Total Air Line Pilot. (or TALP)
Glad to see you got DAL... does DAL pay for the hotel in hew hire training...?
