It is a 100% longevity and seniority reset. They just come off probation.

Where did you hear no probation? I haven't seen that.

Anyone know who to address a cover letter to?

No cover letters for Delta. Do any companies actually use cover letters anymore? I think almost everyone now has an online app process that you fill out and then a computer spits out who to call in. Fill out the airlineapps stuff, spell check it 5000 times, get some recs attached to it, and hope your name gets spit out of the computer to the hiring guys and you'll be set.

On the Delta employee website, it tells the Delta pilots to NOT bother anyone about recommending someone. The company wants everything done through airlineapps.

So when they ask for first class medical, are they talking issued within the last 12 months? My medical is originally issued first class, but I'm at the 18 month mark due to mil leave. Military aviation medical is current of course, not that it matters...

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It must be under first class privileges, AKA in the first six months.

I asked before I interviewed and they told me to make sure it was less than six months old.
Not sure if that is the de facto truth, but that is what I was told when I called with that question a few moons ago.

Why even remotely take a chance on your flow? Does it really make a difference in your life if you spend the $100 now or in six months?

Thats why I asked the question. Money isn't the issue. Time is, since I deploy soon.

Before I responded I wanted to read all of the the NWA LOA's and the Compass and Mesaba contracts.

You may be correct. I do not see any probation protection on the way up, only on the way down.

That said, many ppl have been stating what I did, but you are correct that it is not in there. If it is, I missed it. Granted it was aver 500 pages of text.

New hires will go into the 320 in DTW. Had the 4th floor on the jump seat..

I'm sure some will but with a little over 300 new bodies, 250 or so new hires, I am sure they will be spread across the country.

The rules for first class have changed. If you are under, what...35...then it is 1st class for 12 months. I would have to look it up to get the exact age, but that did change.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Doh, you are correct. It is under 40 for a first class and then every six if needed.

I forget that with the requirements for PIC and International ops. It is just every six and I dumped the rest. Good catch.

Per 61.23

If you hold a FIRST-CLASS medical certificate and on the date of your most recent medical certificate you were under the age of 40 and you are conducting an operation that requires an ATP then your medical certificate expires, for that operation, at the end of the last day of the 12th month after the date shown on the medical.

If you hold a FIRST-CLASS medical certificate and on the date of your most recent medical certificate you were age of 40 or older and you are conducting an operation that requires an ATP then your medical certificate expires, for that operation, at the end of the last day of the 6th month after the date shown on the medical.

So, per my understanding, you can get a first-class medical certificate when you are 39 yrs and 364 days of age and it would be a valid first-class medical certificate, with the privileges of a first class medical certificate, for the full 12 months and not revert to a second class medical after 6 months.

If you have passed the 31st of the 12th month since it was issued, it is no longer a first class and is a second, despite what the ink on the medical says. Get it redone (with the EKG if necessary).

767 extended range. The international (in a perfect world) 767.

Actually, it's still a First Class medical, but with Second Class privileges, if you want to be precise. But in practical terms, you are correct.

No class ever goes all to one base and one airplane. It will be spread out where the needs are and where there are openings.

DTW 320, MSP 88, MSP 320 seem to be the biggest gaps. Perhaps the great white north of MSP isn't so great after all?

Actually, I think there was a class this last cycle that all went to NYC7ER. Could be wrong though.

I would take a MSP DAL job in a NYC MIN.
