I honestly think it was harder to get on at Colgan in 2006 than it was to get on at Delta in 2022.
Correct. I couldn’t get a spot at Spirit job fair because I was lacking TPIC time required to apply at NK. That was after meeting their 4,000 total hrs and 3,000 of those were Part 121!in 2014-2015.
People would flood the job fairs trying to get some face to face time with the recruiters. In my eagle days, they would send people home from interview just because you missed something in your application, or your log book had more than 10-20hr discrepancy with your AirlineApps.
Allegiant sent me a couple of TBNT letters some time after applying. Delta interview was a month studying like crazy for a 2 day process.
