Delta Interview Invites are going out!!

[jetflier]

As a FWNWA now DAL, I believe that DAL is the better choice. With an industry leading CEO, and for now, great financials, DAL is on the upswing.

A good number of retirements, flexibility in equipment, bases and great financials make DAL the place to be in the near future.

Things could always change, but that can be true for all airlines.

Plus she would get to wear a hat!

It's not me, it's my wife. Although I have to admit I am somewhat envious of the opportunity she's got ahead of her. Whether DL or US, I have 6 years at SWA she'll upgrade either way well before I do. For me, for better or worse, I have made my bed at SWA and will lay in it so to speak. I am finding a lot less people on the line who think SWA is the dream place to be anymore.

Well stated. That being said, you are making great coin now, and it would be tough to give up, along with both of you being newhires again. You have it right, you are in a good place, and hopefully the wife makes a good choice. Will she make the DL interview while in ground school at USAir? Again, I think both are good opportunities. Good luck to her and you.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Waylon,

Congrats and best of luck. Being at the front of the hiring push will provide the best results. If I may ask, did you have letters of rec from DL pilots as part of your airlineapps.com application ?

Are you an SSP invite? Did they send those out in seniority order?

 

[mike12345]

Have most of the people getting the invites had the "Delta Dart" as we are calling it in my guard unit? Meaning a friend sent the email recommendation directly to the pilot hiring team rather than just through airlineapps alone?

How are they handling legacies? Not sure where to emphasize that on the application.
