Delta scheduling interviews?

[Mike November]

I know August is when hiring is supposed to start, but I heard Delta has started offering interviews through job fairs etc. Anyone heard this or have an interview scheduled?



Also, is anyone in the interview pool from 2008? Heard anything?

 

[IFLYASA]

I wonder which domicile the new hires will be assigned.

 

[Midnight Flyer]

Imagine what you will need to be competitive.
Space shuttle rating maybe.

 

[Gunfighter]

I wonder which domicile the new hires will be assigned.

MSP and NYC MD-88 are the two most junior categories. ATL MD-88 is also junior. I doubt you will see new hires into the 767 ER. If so, the numbers will be much smaller.

More info will be available once the latest AE bid results are out. The remaining vacancies from the AE are where the new hires will go.

I am a 2000 hire. I have ~~3500 behind me. On the current bid there are were over 125 pilots senior to me that wanted the 7ER. I probably won't get that assignment. Yes new hires in 2007 did get it (I was greedy and din't put in for it then). With 3500 behind me, I can't imagine a new hire getting it; probably only MD-88s.

Some of the guys I know have called to ask how to get a prescreen with the CPO. Apparently they are starting those.

It is going to be very competitive off the bat. I am sure that any pilot that is coming from another major will be looked at before a RJ guy. Just a guess though.

ATL is going to be very senior. I would bet like last time the first few classes will be on the 88/9 and then maybe some 320 spots in dtw and 73n spots in nyc. As we continue to hire, that will change, and will change after the Aug AE is finalized too.

I would say DTW and msp dc-9 for the new hires.

 

[Superpilot92]

I would say DTW and msp dc-9 for the new hires.

The DC9 category is shrinking and thus is getting more senior. My guess is that newbs COULD see the -9 but i personally think the most junior position will be the M88. We'll see

I think alot of senior guys are leaving the 9. They can have my seat in
dtw on the 9.

 

[Mike November]

I think only one of you came close to what the thread was about.

Nice hijack.

 

[repeattheending]

In addition, if you get a CP pre-screen, what should your attire be? Suit and tie or business casual? Thanks!

 

[Helos2Galaxy]

I surprisingly got the 767 ER and will be ~~ 50%.

The bid went more junior than expected.

 

[GogglesPisano]

80% can now hold DTW 744B. Wow.

DTW and MSP 7ERB went extremely junior as well.

Suit FOR SURE! Thats what I did and got an interview 3 weeks later.

Ok Guys. Here's what I know from my experience. I was hired in the last class to go through at Delta (May 5th ,2008). I was at Comair for 12 years. A friend helped me and I got a meet and greet with an assistant CP in ATL. Yes, I wore a suit and stayed in a hotel the night before in order to make the 8:30am meet and greet. 3 weeks later I got a call for an interview. I got the job in April and was in class by May.
I've been in NYC on the MD88 for 2 years and Love the Job. I'm not trying to brag but seriously, the difference in Mgmt./Employee relationship at the regionals is night and day.
The schedulers are AWESOME and they have always been able to help me out whenever they are able...90% of the time I get my request.
Don't let being a regional pilot or anything else hold you back.
Delta is hiring future Captains and they will hire you if you have a professional attitude and a good interview. I'm sure there's more to the hiring process but that was my experience and I've never looked back.

Good Luck and get your Delta buddies to get you a meet and greet if you can!

+1 Ditto what this guy said....Way better than the old job...and I really liked my old job.

DTW and MSP 7ERB went extremely junior as well.

Here's a what if......

I am a 2000 DAL S hire. I can almost hold 744 (don't want it though as I live in NY) but cannot bid it for 4 more years.

Would a 2010 new hire be able to bid it?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

All pilots that are hired after the SLI date probably are not fenced from either jet. (777/744)

I guess they could be fenced from the 744 since it is a NWA jet and the 777 is a DAL jet and they are not F-NWA pilots. Interesting.

That is just a guess though.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Wait a minute.....We hired a Comair guy? WTF?? (all in fun people)

Anybody heard from TankerJackholeMonkey to walk his sorry resume and his WAY packed DD-214? (Again, all jokes, he's too stupid to fill out an app)

 

[Magichands]

HAHAHA...Good one. You'd be suprised how many captains I've flown with have said the same thing...or maybe you wouldn't. Seriously, even the guys who made a comment were just giving me a hard time in jest.
