DAL and AirlineApps

[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.

What is going on at DAL???? My FO just got hired with 2000hrs...SHE, has no Turbine PIC .....Its not a jealousy thing.....Im remeber leaving my base to fly ATR to boost my PIC to be more competitve and it seems now it was for nothing. To be hired just because ur a girl????? Just not right....I guess experience doesnt count anymore.

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.

the pilot shortage is coming!!!

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.

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!

So, he has now been discriminated against? You too sound bitter and like to play the blame game. Do a Google for "SNL and Blame Game." Like getting angry at the guy driving the Benz. Didn't our parents used to tell us, "Worry about your self and not others and you'll be much happier in life.

Greetings. I did a DMV search when I applied and it showed no tickets. During the interview I was asked about tickets and I said that I had violations years ago and none show on my records now. I think the record went back 5 yrs or so. Anyway they seemed to be satisfied with that answer.

Good luck

that didn't work for me... they wanted them listed back to the day I got my DL at 16.

......HIRE HER....Flown with her many times and she's deathly afraid of xwind landings......Nevermind that ,SHE'S A GIRL.......

In the group I was with 2 years ago... 8 total, 5 mil, 3 civil..... 4 of the 5 mil hired (the one that wasn't was quite over weight and flew at B6), then of the 3 of us civil types, only the Gal was hired.. most of her time was in a Caravan flying missionary work in Africa. Her Uncle was a senior mechanic there as I recall... myself and the other civil guy were far more qualified. I was 5 types, 6K TT, BS in Finance and no failed rides.... he was 10K, CRJ Captain at ASA and no failed rides since he was on the E120 as a new hire in '99.

She was obviously hired to fill a quota slot.

Well if there is an issue it will be identified. Fact is that this interview and testing is not easy and she passed. Hate to say it but let it go. You look petty.

All the goodies, recs, etc do is get you to the door, you yourself need to go in and get the job.

It is NOT obvious she was hired to fill a quota. Overall, she may have been a more suitable candidate...you cannot tell, only the people running the interivew that day and/or the people who made the hiring selection process at that time can tell.

DAL, like almost every other company on earth, looks at a multitude of factors when hiring a new employee. The DAL people are human, so sometimes their process is flawed, and sometimes they screw up. BUT, it's their process, and I'm sure the people working in the process are doing the best they can.
She could have been hired because she was, OVERALL, THE best qualified candidate in the whole group.
