The only way to know is to keep updating and hope for the best.

DO keep updating, though. I have heard from several people that attended job fairs and heard Delta recruiters giving tips last time around that updating on a fairly regular basis DOES help flag you in the computer system. I shows that the info they have on you is recent, and that you are interested in working for Delta, and didn't just fill out an app 'cause you needed a job and they happened to be hirring. Updating once a month or two, or once every 100 flights hours is a good benchmark. Even if you're not flying much, its still a good idea to go in every few months and change something minor - just show your app shows a recent update.

And with the magazine, I think you need to pick up both, then offer the choice to the guy next to you. (This shows you know your role as an FO is to let the Captain have first choice!) Just make sure you kindly ask him if you can have the cheerleader magazine when he's finished.

And it can be spelled HOGS or HAWGS! Oh, I'm sorry - did you say dogs?
