He had already committed to the instructor job, but he said Delta promised him an interview when his 3 year commitment was up.
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.
Ouch. Sucks for him. Even guys getting hired today are already way behind the wave even with the upcoming retirements. We've already hired 4,000+ in the last 4+ years. Granted all those guys/girls aren't under 30 years old but they are already way behind. I can't imagine being committed to instruct for 3 years with only a promise for an interview.
