My letter gave me a link to delta's hiring process, and said that NWA had fowarded our names.. they also said that if you meet the "very competative minimums" you may get a call from them..
I am doubious about even applying..
Basically if you have 1000 PICT you are competitive.
One the hiring gets started and has gone for a few months 500PICT will suffice.
Now here are a few pointers.
1) Do something besides just fly the line, IE LCA work, instructor work etc.
2) Volunteer for ALPA.
3) Do some of the service projects that your company offers.
4) When applying make sure that you have spelled everything correctly, made concise to the point sentences, and conveyed your message effectively.
5) Keep a neat professional log book,
6) Network with DAL pilots. Biggest thing you can do. They do just pull from the stack, but most come with two or more well placed recommendations. Guys you jumpseat with can recommend you, they just cannot talk about flying with you.
7) Meet the min requirements. DAL for now requires a college degree. The thinking is that this will not go away for quite some time
They are picky, but with 12,000 applicants last time they can be. Their failure rate on day one is about 75% add day two and it goes to over 80%.
Would Delta be a good place to wait out a potential furlough at FedEx or UPS?
FWIW FedEx told me that accepting the offer at Delta would not negatively impact a poolee's status for FedEx. They apparently knew back then the candidates would be pretty wrinkly by the time anyone got called.Would Delta be a good place to wait out a potential furlough at FedEx or UPS?
