Delta hiring in 2013

[Oakum_Boy]

Oh yeah, 'cause regional pilots have the energy and bankroll to feed stray dogs and homeless people on the weekends whist the au pair and housekeeper take care of everything at home.

Can't we just all get along?

No. On second thought, hell no.

Like he said above cooperate and graduate and remember its not just flight ops doing the hiring. HR folks like that community stuff and they get a say.

I did hear you should emphasize community service on your app and in the interview. What that has to do with flying the jet, I don't know, but play by the rules they set and you may get the call. Good luck!!

I actually have quite a bit of community service type stuff. Any suggestions on how to include this type of thing on airlineapps?

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

no clue.....Not familiar with the format of that site. Not sure how resumes are collected or any of that. Sorry I'm not much help there.

I do know if you have a Delta Pilot recommend you using his/her delta.com email address, it gets weighed heavier with a higher point score for an invite.

Good Luck!

I thought you always say that you never left the regionals because the pay and the senior schedules were good enough to not have to leave. So you should have the energy with 19 off and the bank roll. Not FO's but you should. Right?

Times have changed, gentlemen. US Airways is big on service and now Delta is looking for it as well. Check out pilotcareerprep.com.

Even if you have one weekend a month, or a day here or there, FIND time to do some type of community service. It doesn't have to be much. Visit the elderly and your grandmother at the senior center. Your Father or Grandfather in the military at one time? Great, you can be in the Sons of the American Legion, which prioritizes service to the community and obviously the country. Meetings are once a month and aren't mandatory.

These things show you are more than a regular, and that you will more than likely go above and beyond for passengers, and you hold personal characteristics that psychologically speaking, lead to a better and more rounded person.

You don't have to agree with how things are being done, but your career may depend on adjusting to it.

But what if you hate old people, specifically between the age of 60 and 65?

I laughed at this one.

On topic though, I have heard from several sources that community service is very important to the application sifters at the majors.

 

[sat74]

Does court imposed community service count?

Go to any airlines corporate relations or investor page, and look at the charities and community service that airline sponsors and how much money they give. That should give any applicant a big clue.

 

[tailhookah]

Just tell them you service yourself on every layover...

If you have several thousands hours of flight time in the regionals or wherever and your record is clean you can fly. There are thousands of pilots that can fly. They can train you to fly how they want but they can't change your personality.
What they are looking for is do you fit in with the company and would they want to deal with you for the next 20-30 years. You might be a top gun pilot but a complete ass. Who wants to spend 200 hours a month in a cockpit with a guy who's a complete jackass?
Flying skills is only part of the job.

I'm amazed that you made that statement, you just have to read some of the posts on FI to understand that jackasses get hired at mainline all the time.
