Anyone confirm the rumor or know of any Army pilots being hired by Delta? United is hiring a lot of Army FW pilots along with Southwest, Jet Blue, UPS, and a myriad of regional/cargo carriers.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yes, Delta has hired a couple, maybe a few Army aviators in the recent hiring wave. There was a union publication that detailed hiring demographics, and there were 3 hired in 2014-2015. I met a new hire Army guy at the training center a couple months ago. There are a few of us. Keep updating your application and attend the job fairs.
