Has Delta Called You Yet?

[PeanuckleCRJ]

While we're at it... what is a new hire rsv schedule like on the 88 or 73? I seem to remember 13 days off from another thread, maybe... but the other details have passed from my thin noggin.

 

[rafosku]

I got an email as well. Had several recs, but none from Delta.

If you could post your times and exp., thanks!!

 

[Well-hung Start]

Depends on their views on age 60.

Retired captains who wear Depends?

I just talked to my contact at DAL that is doing the interviewing. She said that they are giving classroom instruction to the pilots that will be preforming the interviews. It looks like it will be three to four weeks before they interview.

ACL65, did your source give any idea about what competitive times are for getting a call or being hired? Just curious to see if I have a chance.
Thanks

 

[WWEfan]

I had 8k total and 5k 121 PIC.

All these junior pilots for the merger that is going to take place. Just keeps gettingmore of a buffer for us furlough guys coming back.

As far as getting a call for an interview, it must be some sort of secret...

I am a 15-year Delta employee (Design Engineer, Currently on a Leave of Absence), with 6300+ hours, 3100+ hours PIC in a CRJ, BS in Mechanical Engineering, and 5 Letters of Recommendation (1 from a Delta employee). No Call...
I cannot transfer internally. I must go through AirlineApps.com like everyone else. It is very frustrating as I took the LOA expressly to continue my flying to get back to Delta. Now the time is right, and I meet, or exceed, all requirements, and I am not being selected.

For those of you that have been called, Congratulations! When is your interview date?

I feel your pain pilottodd. I also meet and exceed their mins with several recs and no call yet. Good luck dude.

Guys,

The app process has been open for what, 2-3 weeks now? Have some faith! And patience!

I thought there was a section in the app for Delta "legacy" people....does that apply to former employees or is it just family members?

 

[Pilottodd2]

Yes, there is a section that asks if you are an Active Delta employee. I said YES. Still does no good.
General Lee. You out there? Can you help a brother in need? Any Delta Pilot? Bueller? Bueller?

I guess I do need to exercise a little patience. I have heard that they need to hear back from all the furloughed pilots before they make any decisions. I hope to hear soon. Good luck to all.

Interviews are starting at the end of the month. I applied on the first day it was available by sheer luck. I got an email last week asking to call to set up an interview. No recs or internal connections.

 

[LARRY H. JUNIOR]

does anyone know?????????
is delta's policy still 2 tries, then banned for life?
plato said 2 tries (interview/and or light pen test, psyche) .
is that still the policy?

 

[Ainokea]

Hazen--

First of all, congratulations on getting the opportunity! However, if you wouldnt mind, could you tell us what you qualify at. Obviously Military helps but could you add anything?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

DAL will be calling many people with no internals. It is their policy. About one to two every group.

Well I"m looking at around 7400 total hours with 4800 Part 121 PIC. I also have a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering and 2 letters from Delta Pilots, and 1 retired Delta manager. I am also waiting to hear something. From the folks at ASA that have gotten the call, it seems they were former interns, and those with "higher" power. It looks as if the "In Crowd" gets called first, and the rest hopefully later.

 

[Pilottodd2]

IFLYASA,
Let me know if you get the call. It would be nice if we both get it. I am wondering if Delta stopped calling anyone since the announcement of the possible Delta/NWA merger.
Good luck to ya. Where did you go to school for your Engineering Degree? I am a FSU grad.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

From the horses mouth:
There are only 1500 or so qualified applicants on file at big D. The first 36 that were called were Legacy's, Major Internal Recs, or guys and gals that had a nod five years ago. It truly is a matter of time until you are called.
Intervieweing on Tues, Wed and Thurs, eight pilots a day. 200 for the year on current numbers. Interview is the same as it was last time. Difference is that you better have darn good attendace at your current job.

 

[Hazen]

Ainokea, I am just your average military jet guy getting off active duty. I easily meet Delta's requirements. They are less than some. I did nothing but apply a few weeks ago and got the email. You do not get a call, you get an email. So make sure it would not get blocked by your spam filters or something. I probably just got lucky getting the email so soon, or maybe they wanted to throw a military guy into the mix. I imagine a lot of military guys have not applied to Delta and are looking for more job security. Good luck to all

That can't be right. CAL received something like 15,000 apps in the first week. How can DAL only have received 1500?

 

[800Dog]

CAL is not bankrupt and facing a hostile takeover. Much more security there for those at the bottom of the list. Not sure why anyone would risk coming over to Delta right now.

 

[amt]

Interesting enough, lasy week I got an e-mail from AIRAPPS informing me that DELTA is accepting applications and encouraging me to apply. Hummmmm. . . .

 

[PCL_128]

I would. I live 20 minutes from the employee lot in ATL. It's worth the risk to end the commute from hell up to DTW.

 

[i'mbatman]

PCL,

At my airline, out of every ten guys that say they would go there, only 1-2 have actually filled out the app....they say its too long, blah, blah, etc. But I do agree, they are deep in BK and have merger threats flying around......pretty risky......but I would do it.

 

[na4life]

Immpossible. With the low mins nearly every regional FO is qualified.

• Minimum of 1,200 hours of total documented flight time
• Minimum of 1,000 hours of fixed wing turboprop or turbofan time

One year and you are qualified. Not a lick of PIC needed. I bet between ASA and Comair pilots you have 1500 applications on file.

ACL65, thanks for the good info. What exactly did you mean by "you must have darn good attendance at your current job."

 

[lionflyer]

It's funny you should say that because I would give a nut to be based in DTW vs the crap I'm doing now.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

What I am telling you is what I have been told. The exact number is 1538. I am not sure if that is with their filter or not. That is all that they are looking at.
In reference to the attendance. They will want you to sign a release for your current employer to release you attendace records. They do not want to see a lot of sick calls around holidays. If you have and it has a pattern it pay hurt you. That is what I have been told. Now it is up to your company to release that information. They are not required to do so.
