When will they be interviewing the externals? Have they invited them yet?

 

[RVSM]

It has already started.

Does anybody know what the competitive requirements were for externals to get an interview? Have they contacted all the externals for interviews or are they still in the process of doing that? Thanks

My friend has her interview the first week of December.

I hope they don't take her away! She's the BEST dispatcher we have! :bawling:

 

[RVSM]

What's her name or where is she now so I can tell them to take her out of the stack...

Those that have been selected to come to DAL can look forward to having the pleasure of a one on four panel interview with the PD recruiter, Chief of Dispatch Training and Standards and two line Dispatchers, one of whom is also a line instructor.
You will also get to take about a 1 hr test that covers Dispatch 101 topics, WX, NOTAMs, FARs, Approaches (Jepp plates), etc.
Don't worry about weight and balance and don't get hung up with systems. Basic Knowledge is sufficient, not looking for B737 experts. (if you are that's great but don't burn time on it if your not.)

More to follow if I hear anything.
Good luck to all,
RVSM

Thnx RVSM, you're always very helpful with the info you post on here.

But wait, there's more.

There should be 6 picked up on this go around.
Keep your resumes sharp.
PROB 80 there will be more openings early next year due to unforecasted internal growth opportunities.

Concur, and don't let the reported slowed aircraft growth rates fool you...

Well? Any news?
