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!
For reference, I just got the Delta CJO on Tuesday - similar career totals (yours are higher), but I was coming off a 2-year non-flying staff gig. DAL's resume-scoring heuristic seems to be aggregate in nature - you'll be a Tier 1, 2, or 3 based on their total-person assessment of you. There might be a lower limit for recency, but very high likelihood that you're above it, and your grand totals should make up for it anyway. At the interview just be prepared to explain how you arrived at your numbers - I found that I was vastly overprepared for that portion, all they wanted was a copy of my SARMS summary and a quick verification that day + night = total. Use caution in the conversion from Mil to PIC but don't let it hold you up. I was a Herk & T1 guy, happy to share the spreadsheet-calculator I used.
