Again, I can't stress what a slap in the face it is to Delta to imply that just because you meet someone you will get an invite. They have a process and if you app scores high enough you will get the invite. Going to a job fair will get your app scored if it hasn't already been scored and that may get you the invite. No one really knows how the application is scored but to imply that a community college guy that gets a 2.8 gpa in ten years of schooling would get an interview over a fighter pilot or an Ivy League college guy just because he went to a job fair is ludicrous.

Bingo. Might be all a qualified 91/135 applicant needs.

"No one really knows how the application is scored"

Sure about that?


For the 91/135 pilots trying for an interview, don't give up. Network, shake hands, keep flying and if DL is your goal, don't stop fighting for it. You can make it happen. There's plenty of 91/135 pilots there just stay the course.
