Keep the good attitude up and don't stop trying. We are going to be hiring for some time and hopefully everyone will get their shot.
It is not my intent to lead anyone astray or wrong. If I have misspoken please correct me as I'm only looking from the outside in. I have said over and over that it is the overall picture that Delta is looking at. No one single qualifier on your app is a determination as to not to getting the interview. I was told by a guy on the interview team that because it took me 6 years to get my bachelors degree, it would cause a flag on my application. He didn't say it would disqualify my app but he did say it would be a "flag" on my app. I know a guy who does intervews for a regional airline and he rubs shoulders with Delta at these job fairs, he was told by a Delta recruiter that because he took too long to get his masters degree it was holding up his overall score to get an interview.

Please take anything I say with a grain of salt as I am only passing on information that I get and please correct me if you feel differently. In my opinion you want to try and minimize as many flags on your app as you can. I know my app has a few flags and that is more than likely making me a tier II appicant but who really knows. Delta seems to put the most weight on where you went to school, what you studied in school, how long it took you to get your degree and most importantly your gpa. If you went to Stanford and studied bio science with w 4.0 but took you 7 years, I believe they might be willing to overlook the length of time based on the other variables but what do I know?

I would do anything to get an interview at Delta and I would hope that the information I pass along might just help someone out, like myself who is on the outside looking in. I would hope my insight is not "blatantly wrong" and apologize if the information I got was that far outside the box. I will say it again and I'm pretty sure that this statement is correct "It is your entire app that gets you the interview and not any one single "flag" will keep you from getting the interview". To say that I "blatantly" am misleading you is pretty harsh! Blatantly means that I am purposefully trying to give you bad information and this couldn't be farther from the truth.

Please let me know what information you believe I "blatantly" led you astray with and I would love nothing more to be corrected should I have been given the wrong information. Please know that I am not knowingly trying to mislead anyone as the definition of blatant would so suggest. I am not a screener and I doubt anyone on here is, so to call any information blatantly misleading would infer that I or you are a screener and you or I know otherwise.
