Delta New Hires

[Stugatz78]

Not to change gears, but where do the new Delta guys stay for training? I heard that newhires have to pay for their own housing, is that true?

Hasn't this thread been done a 100 times??

Back to hiring- how do delta pilots feel about hiring pilots with no pic?

Completely agree!

General back on ignore.

Again, congrats on Delta hiring. Good luck to those with interviews. I know United made guys pay for housing, but hadn't heard if DL does.

From what I have heard Delta picks up the hotel for indoc and you have to pay for your hotel the rest of the time. I heard new hires either stay at a Motel 6 or Super 8 anyone know which one it is.

Motel 6 or Super 8

Wow. Real classy Delta!

I think that is old data. United does pay for housing during training. Last I read DL does not pay for housing.

That's good to hear about United.

No PIC- that's an odd concept at a major- not in the pilot's control, but that seems like mgmt games.

A little more likely to vote yes?

How are they in the flight deck-?

I learned so much switching seats so often in my career- my FO time is valuable, but I AM A better FO now bc I have sat captain so often. And up to a legacy FO, and back to a regional FO, then regional capt, then charter FO, charter capt, now major FO agai
Seeing both sides so often helps-

What's the logic behind justifying a major airline hire with NO PIC.

That's a bit crazy to me even if I'm sure many are talented and good

When Delta pays it's the Renaissance Hotel, sorry for the confusion.

DL gives two weeks of hotel and then you get a paycheck every two weeks. Current pay for new hires is $68 an hour, which is $28 more per hour than AA/US, and a lot higher than most. Plus, you don't have to pay extra for a 737 type rating.... Plus, 5000 pilots will retire over the next decade.
