I knew a bunch of guys at SWA but I didn't want to fly domestic my whole career. I threw in applications and resumes everywhere and only heard from Atlas, they were falling over themselves to get me into a class but I wasn't separated yet. I didn't know that Delta required high school information in the education section on airline apps. I got an email from Delta asking me to go into airline apps and update my high school info. Again let me reiterate that I knew no one at Delta and used an old CC and two buddies as references on my app. I updated my high school info and not a week later I received an email inviting me for an interview. I've been told by numerous captains I fly with that Delta prefers military pilots. Good luck and hopefully we'll see you on the list sooner than later!!
My buddy who got hired in 08 had the same situation. Something wasn't correct on his app and Delta personally called him to have him update his app. Pretty lucky!!
I hope to join the team soon too. Luckily I'm in a good place in the meantime. But it is like being a kid waiting for Christmas but your parents keep telling you that Santa can't visit everyone in one night so he has racked and stacked you and you will be visited based on the list. At least we can still have something to get excited about.
