DAL Without Internal Rec?

[starcheckdriver]

Do the current DAL pilots think an applicant would be much less likely to get an interview without an internal recommendation? Or, is there still a chance?

From Dumb and Dumber the movie "Give it to me straight Mary. Is there a chance? How about 1 in 100? More like 1 in a Million Loyd. So what you're saying is there's a CHANCE...."

Sure, you have a chance without a rec. The first couple hundred spots will be hard to get, but after that I have heard DL may hire 600+ next year, and not everyone who has a friend on the inside gets hired. I would say if you are qualified, then you do have a chance. Good luck to you.

A former ACP at 9E got hired late in the cycle last time with no internals.

One heck of a resume...

I’m fairly sure that due to equal hiring rules, Delta like most airlines and large companies have moved to a computerized interview selection program. Each of your answers generates a points score and a letter of recommendation is just X amount of points, A candidate without a letter of recommendation may end up have a higher points score then someone with a letter, therefore the person without the letter will get the call for the interview.

During the actual interview is where the letter of recommendation comes into play.

Actually the LOR is what gets you the interview, they don't really even look at it during the interview.

Any idea what 'qualified' would look like?

When I interviewed in 2007 they had my LOR's printed out and sitting on the table with their paperwork. I guarantee you that at least one of the people on the panel interview has read your LOR's prior to you walking in.

I KNOW I can count on you for one, Gen! I mean, I do cook your fries just right... And I never seem to run low on that special sauce you love so much... Hell, I may just come right on as a Chief Pilot. I know my grease trap skills will come in handy there!

I don't really think YOU need a rec for lav dumper, but I guess I could write you one since everything you normally say is full of Sh%$ anyway! Go for it man! Be the best lav dumper you can be in Minot! Chicks or dudes up there will LOVE your blue hands. Make sure you wear a face guard, unless you like tasting it anyway.

Well- I guess I may be a bit overqualified... I didn't realize you flyboys cross-trained as lav dumpers as well... I guess those "synergies" are really starting to pay off!

When you sit in an aisle seat, and the gentle breeze blows by you, and then something brushes by your shoulder when she walks by, then you know what you're up against And btw, it's a wide aisle airbus i'm talking about.
