I have a very competitive app, current chief pilot with a 121 carrier (low on the PIC but at least 500 hours), 5000+ hours 121 time, internship at a major that is no longer around and had a red tail
, 4 year degree, clean driving record, no DUI's, no 121 failures, volunteer, polished app, gone to job fairs. Just curious what needs to be done to get an interview...I see people leaving left and right for FedEx, DAL, UAL, AAL, Alaska, SWA, but can't get a call, I've networked, networked, networked...still nothing
First, stay positive.....if they sent you the 'fix it' e-mail, at least you know they
want to consider you.
Second, your low PIC
may be hurting you. Just a thought. (although if it were terrible I don't know if you would have even got the 'fix it' e-mail....ask your buds getting picked by DAL how much PIC time
they had)
Edit: 500 hrs? I bet it's your PIC time.
Third, they just might be busy draining the pool and haven't got back to you yet. I'm guessing with your background you're well aware of the ginormous pool. Good news is it's supposed to be drained by May-ish.
Fourth,
if you don't have any internal recs from Delta bros (NOT the ones sent in via AirlineApps.com but the ones that go straight to the DAL pilot hiring guys by way of Delta's internal e-mail) I recommend you get a couple of those.
I'm a lowly poolie so you might want to see what some actual Delta pilots on this thread say. They lurk here and comment sometimes to keep the rest of swimming in our neat little lanes.
Good luck! My money says you'll get here before too long!
