In my category, Greenslips have, more recently, been based on inability to be compliant with 117 than short staffing.

But if 900 is indeed the new 2015 target then:
900 - (4x 115) = 440
440/8 months remaining = 55 month after April.

4 X 115 = 440
Plus 75 X 4 = 300
Plus 115 X 4 = 440
1180 total hired. I'd be shocked if they hire less than 1200

The Holiday Inn just down the street is every bit as nice and costs less, although the nice 5 minute walk is now 15 minutes. Risk there though is higher chance of drunks wandering the halls screaming at 2am instead of the squeaky door :/.

From what I see, it isn't all about times. The people I know that have been hired (regional people), here is the commonality:
-Big aviation school (UND, ERAU, MTSU, etc)
-3.5GPA or better
-Volunteer work while in college
-More than 7yrs at a regional
-Something that stands you out at your regional. There has been from my airline 2CPs, 2LCAs, 3 Instructors, and two ALPA committee chairmen. (A couple had 2 or more of these attributes)
-Out of those, 4 have been women and 7 have been men.
-Times varied...most have 2000+hrs PIC and one of my friends recently got the CJO with zero PIC but he was a Maint check pilot as an FO after 7yrs of line flying plus met all items above.
Those are the only things I can find in common with people that have gotten the interview. As far as I know, no civilian pilot has gotten the interview just by PIC time and being JUST a line pilot.

Most military. About 12 regional guys out of 50.
Out the 12, about half were flow. The other half were either LCA, CP, ALPA higher up within their airline, or had a Masters Degree(my case).
Im pretty sure that like everything else there are exceptions to the rule, but based on resume alone I would say it seems that they are looking for extra boxes to be checked on your app at this time.

Mike,
That was a test by Delta to see if you are cut out to fly the maddog. Sounds like a typical overnight

The door must have opened and closed 40 times during that hour, each one loud enough for me to hear in the room next door. First it woke me, then it kept me up on the most important night of my life. I interviewed on about 3 hours sleep.

Every motel on Virginia Ave. has a shuttle van to the Delta G.O. I wouldn't stay at the Hilton just because you can walk it quicker than the Holiday Inn, what if it's raining?
