Helos, I agree. be honest. They realize that in this day and age it is hard to be perfect all of the time.

I prefer to put all my tickets on there and be laughed at than to have them come to my new hire class and ask me to explain something I omitted.

I was told by a buddy of mine over at Delta that the CP will not call anyone for an interview who does not have 100hrs in the last 6 months. I'm just looking for confirmation on this or news otherwise.
Anyone else out there have any insight on this info???
Is this fact?

I hope not. There are a lot of furloughed Midwest pilots that don't have that. Some of them have 15,000 plus hours.

I have not heard that but I beleive their is a regency line on the DAL hiring page, so go get current in a C-150. It just asks when your last flight was, not what it was on.

I have been told the very same thing by a reliable source - that 100 hours in the past six months is required to "get to the next level" in the process.

I believe on the app it asks how many hours you have logged in the past 12 months.

 

[Tatoosh65]

OK, does not sound like anyone is sure.
I am still hearing 100hrs in the last six. Which is a bummer.

I don't think that's true. There is only one spot on the app. that asks how many hours within the last 12 months. I could see it being 100 in the last 12 but I'm not sure how it can be within the last 6 when it isn't specified on the app.

 

[Tatoosh65]

Anyone out there been called for an interview who has less that 100hrs in the last six months??

The Delta addendum asks how many hours in the last 6 months.

It is just one of the many filters they use to sort the thousands of apps they will get. The initial selection process is automated based on an application point score, which gives a diversity of applicants in each interview group. Some in each group may have less then 100 hours in the group due to a better point score in other parts of the application.

The addendum on my app. asks about the past 12 months. I can't find anything about 6 months anywhere in the app. I also just noticed some new questions on the addendum asking whether or not you had ever interviewed or applied at NWA in the past. Previously, mine had only mentioned Delta. And also, the Yellow Fever immunization question had been added to mine since I last logged in about a week ago.

Are applicants getting different addendums or what? Pretty strange.

My airline apps Delta addendum asks for flying time in the last 12 months.

 

[OCP]

Mine only had a spot for 12 months also.

 

[TurboCheez]

How many apps received by Delta?

I am doing some research on Delta's hiring. Anyone know how many apps they have received?

 

[Fly High]

I don't know how reliable this is but a friend of mine said that she has a "friend in the DAL HR Office" that stated 18,000 apps on hand. Other numbers that I have heard are around 11,000.
