DAL and AirlineApps

[RP170]

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.

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.

 

[mesaba13]

The only thing I can see asked about 6 months is how many instrument approaches.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Fly High, now go ask them what percentage of those apps are ones they feel are interviewable? I bet you get a number will below 3K

 

[Fly High]

Bet you are right. Some may have a lot of Heavy C150 Time.

Who said she was hired simply because she is a girl??? Maybe her education level is high - Masters or Doctorate perhaps. No failed checkrides. Flight hours are only one part of the application, not the totality.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Simple, she is probably from the Western Michigan Program with DAL. Done a 73N type with DAL and the FAA and part of WIA. Simply put her quals surpass your flight hrs.

Hi.

jetjam619: I have been discriminated against, too on a number of occasions (and so has my CEO). All you can do is move on and keep trying. I know it is not the easiest thing to do right now, but if you can do it it will be the best option. Dwelling on the negatives helps no one, but especially not yourself!

Good luck and God Bless!
