Second guy was AF F16 guy. He argued with us all why his Air Force time printouts would suffice and that no logbook was required. Even the other military guys pointed out that Delta asks specifically for a logbook, so you should probably bring a logbook.
Third guy didn’t really speak to anyone all day.

It’s a small sample size example, but it seemed to me all the ‘normal’ types got the job. I flew recently with a guy who’d previously been on the Delta interview team. He had some great stories. One common theme was that most of us aren’t as good at interviewing as we’d like to think. He was a fan of interview prep and said he could usually tell those that used it.
