If you’re qualified, I would think that getting to know the fleet Captains and SLI’s through working for DGS, would be a great way to get a job with Delta. It’ll take at least 3 years for your commitment to end and an opportunity to interview, but if the phone isn’t ringing now, it seems like a great alternative.
Sounds bad, three years of seniority? I'd be looking at other airlines, the chance that DAL, in three years, is not hiring are too great and there you are with zip time. Nooo!
