Any Regional Guys get a call from Delta yet?

[SPDBRD747400]

Other than the Compass/Mesaba guys has anyone else been called about an interview from Delta?

 

[Pasturepilot]

I heard of two ASA captains had interviews this week

Airline Apps Sucks!!!!

Sure does!

 

[Choppy]

What's the reason for it sucking?

 

[LearCrj]

What's the reason for it sucking?

The fact that you have to pay to apply for a job.

 

[surveypilot]

The fact that you have to pay to apply for a job.

You don't have to pay. All you have to do is create an account for each airline that you want to apply to. If you only want to enter all of that data once, then you have to pay.

The fact that you have to pay to apply for a job.

It's free.

 

[say again]

It's free those that know what they're doing.

There is nothing more painful than spending an afternoon filling airlineapps. I like Delta and all but.. not that much. by the way I'm kidding.

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

I know of a squirrel who has an interview next week.

 

[lanilila]

Do you think its worth paying the 100 bucks or so to go to the job fair in ATL? Delta is going to be there?

I don't want you to go because it means more competition for me. I want you to go because I like to see people advance their lives. Obviously I'm just kidding about the first part of my post. Seriously though, how much is it worth for you to get the job. Better said, if you went down there and spent the money and didn't get hired, would you be pissed off? Or would you chalk it up to an opportunity to sell yourself in person. I know what I am going to do. You have to answer your own question for yourself.

Let's see, you're at a regional looking to move up to a major with much better QOL, pay and career advancement... and you're worried about $100 for a chance at it?

Just stay at the regionals.

The worst day at a Major is better than the best day at a regional. Yes, you may have to take a hit for the first year or two pay wise (starting pay is $52 an hour at DL I believe), and you might have to be on reserve for a year or two also. But, pay goes up fast at DL, and within 3 years pay is close to $100 an hour. Other things coming up---the Dalpa contract ends in 2012, and a lot of hiring projected supposedly.

The DCI picture hasn't been great lately, and the loss of 50 seaters, along with different DCI carriers moving from base to base, may point to a change for some. A lot of people fear change, and also fear leaving their comfy left seat at a regional to suddently not be incharge in the right seat of an A319. Can you do it? Good luck.


Bye Bye---General Lee

General Lee, gee, thanks Captain Obvious. Your picture is rosy and all, but there are thousands and thousands of qualified applicants for only a handful of Delta pilot jobs. Every regional pilot (all FOs) meet the minimums for Delta. But competitive mins are much higher. And I don't have knockers. Nor a "Man in Aviation" group that will buy me a free 737 type and a guaranteed interview at SWA. Nor is my father a Check Airmen for Delta. Nor am I a flowthrough. My application will be lost in the stack of thousands.

So I guess it's continue pillaging at my "loser" DCI carrier.

Well that is not what I am hearing. I have heard that there are 305 for this year, and possibly 60 a month next year, and the next couple or few years after that maybe. If that is the case, then a lot of people will have a chance. It is worth it. And remember Jetblue and Airtran are hiring also, which will create movement at the regionals too.

Wow, that was genius. Let's hope you can afford a woman like that while at your regional. You lose and will continue to lose.

You never know until you try. I was just a basic applicant with no ties to Delta and still got hired.

 

[aa73]

The pic of 587 was tasteless and uncalled for. I'm sure you wouldn't have posted that had you lost a loved one on that flight.

 

[JumpersAway]

You never know until you try. Throw your app in the pot, and you just might get lucky. Throw enough mud at the wall, and some will stick. It's like never buying a ticket, and complaining about not winning the lottery. ASA has a pretty strong repor with the Delta group, and it shows with the movement we share with them. Keep trying, talk to your jumpseaters, ask questions, and do what you can to network, network, network.

I hear that there were 8 "off the street" interview calls last week, and that one of them was a famous pilot that was posted on the flyasa pilot recruiting website. Good luck to her, as she is senior to me : )

You talkin' bout the one who supposedly made history at asa?

Off course. Everybody saw that one coming.

 

[asayankee]

You mean the one that got sent back through training for not being able to fly a visual?

 

[JettBoii]

Thats her.
