I had 2 referrals from retired non mgmt line pilots.
Not many of the people I know of that got interviewed fit in your 3 hook up categories. In fact, they are very much a minority of who gets called for interviews. Last round the hard floor for an interview no matter gender, race, or who mom/dad is was 4000 hours. The pilots' kids appeared to have a horrible pass rate in the interview. I know some were hired, but every one of them that I know did not get hired.
Thanks for the honest answer. You had very good qualifications and you deserve your spot at Delta..However if you were hired 1.5 years before the merger with 2000 TPIC you were probably gone from PNC before I was even hired.... Anyway, I'm not trying to bash anyone at Delta or any mainline, I think many of us regional guys are very frustrated and trying to figure out this - hard to crack code - on how to get an interview with a good mainline, many, many, many of us are well qualified but our phone remains silent..
