Any Regional Guys get a call from Delta yet?

[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.

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

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.
