I'm sorry but there is no "some of them"
On the same token, just because you fly for UPS does not mean you're more qualified than the competition. There are thousands of qualified pilots outhere that will be competiting for those 240 spots at Dixie....
Well, we all know that, but HR at places thinks differently. There is a reason that the 54 UPS furloughs as of today ALL had heavy time BEFORE UPS. When I interviewed the HR person had the audacity to congratulate me on getting the interview since he had 7000 applications and his choice of the industry. DAL HR will be the same. They will probably have north of 5000 applications for 300 jobs. Internal recs will help, but the fewer of those you have, the more international, transoceanic, and/or big jet time you will need on your resume to get noticed.
I was an RJ guy and there is a reason even a start up like Virgin America looked at guys with Airbus time for their first hundred slots or so. And Airbus time still puts you in front over there.
In short, if HR can hire someone who has proven they can do the job elsewhere, they view that person as more of a fit for their operation.
Good luck to all the guys trying for Delta. It is a good job and there are few of those available right now.
