Would you 121 guys mind posting what you got hired with timewise? Thanks!

Delta is looking for around 5500 TT with 1000 TPIC from 121 guys. Not sure about mil times. I got in with 5000 TT, 4000 Turbine, and 1000 TPIC last summer. Some are getting in with less if you are well connected. Delta is also liking guys/gals with some heavy aircraft time. They also seem to make it in with a little less TT.

the breakdown for the class was 14 dtw DC9 and 4 SO ANC. They said they are hurting on the SO position now because 39 ropes are bidding off the panel. All 4 going to the panel were told they would be line holders straight out of training. Everyone was told they could probably hold the airbus in 3 months or 757 in 6 months. good stuff

is NWA looking muck at corporate guys? I just submitted my on-line app. 5500tt 1100tpic, 2400hrs 121-F/O. I wonder if I'll even be looked at?

How long, generally, does it take ffrom the time the recieve the app, and assuming they like you, give the nod for th interview?

4 year degree is a deal breaker here as far as I can tell but there are a couple of corporate/charter guys in this class. Off to study now!!!

Um, I have a 4 year degree, well, more like 6, but I paid for it myself.

Did anyone go to ANC by choice or did they just send the four most junior?

2 went by choice 2 forced=most junior. one person might swap the 9 out for the panel by choice which would make it only 1 forced. Wont know for sure till Thursday or so.

What's the gouge on suit color for the interview? I know Delta is big on a navy suit with red tie. Is NWA the same?

Dont think it matters as long as its bloack or blue. I wore a blue suit and red tie and it worked out

It doesn't matter. Just make sure it fits right. I wore a gray pin-striped suit.

That's an urban myth. I wore a dark gray suit, along with several others in my group. One had a blue suit with a blue shirt and a nice blue patterned tie which actually looked really sharp. Out of 8 that day, maybe half had on a red tie. Six of us got hired, including myself and the guy in the blue suit.

The colors don't really matter. As long as you look sharp and conservatively (no loud colors) then you'll be fine.

Thanks for the info. I have an interview next week and it was a last minute thought...

 

[The General]

i wore a black pinstripe with sharp blue/black tie. hired for june 2 class. i'm pretty sure its not about having a red tie. does anyone know the projection for SO classes in the later classes, say for ...june. and can you bid out of the SO before you complete training?

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Did we start another new hire indoc class today? If so, could someone post the positions offered tomorrow when Crew Resources comes in.

Thanks & welcome aboard!
