Question: does anyone have any credible info on how many hours Delta is wanting a guy to have in the last 12 months to get an interview?
My numbers:
- 23 yrs flying, all Air Force
- 3,100 hrs IP
- 4,000 hrs PIC
- 5,050 hrs Total
- 4,980 hrs Turbine
- 3,100 sorties (Turbine)
- 1,324 MEL sorties (mostly T-37s with about 2.5 yrs in C-130s)
- Never been a DO, FE or had any Safety stink on me (bummer)
- Currently a T-6 Texan IP (last 9 yrs straight) but have only got about 191 hrs in last 12 months (that's about average for me over those 9 yrs). Yes, I'm trying to ramp up hours but every day I fly "today" I lose 1 day's worth of flight time (if I flew that day) from 1 yr ago. So, is there a min number of hours Delta likes in the last 12 months and if so, what is it?
Bueller? Bueller?....
Publishing aps in about a week. I'm sick of counting beans from my AF flight records folder.
Thanks in advance!
I tried to get the HR rep in my interview to divulge what the magic app contains, but mum was the word. I can only go by my app which obviously hit the markers. My times are were very similar to yours, for what that is worth. I did have a couple safety stints though, if that is even a player. I also have a grad degree. I'm assuming that as a 23 year AF pilot, you do too. I've done about a dozen letters, and only one has gotten an invite, a USN P3 guy who had what I considered low flight time. I basically said some of the guys walk on water, and e mailed their apps directly to HR. No call......It's a total mystery.
