I know Flight Ops (the career counseling company) is having another job fair this weekend (at IAD.) Apparently, Delta wasn't happy with the way the last few job fairs had been run. They had tons of people wanting to get some face time with them, and it was first come, first served - so alot of candidates stood in line all day and never got to talk to anyone. Delta made their complaints known to the folks that were running the job fair, and it seems the result is that Delta is now scheduling "slots" with a limited number of job fair attendees, rather than having a free-for-all. This might be the "interview" to which this person was invited.

My understanding is that its not a full fledged interview, but it is a one-on-one with one of the higher ups in the recruitment/newhire process (kind of a "pre" interview, I guess.) I don't know if Delta is selecting the folks that get these slots (so they spend time with folks they already know of qualified and competitive,) or if its based on when you registered. And, or course, the golden question is: would they spend this kind of effort talking to potential newhires if they didn't plan on ramping things up again soon? I don't have that answer.

We might gleen some useful information if we know the status of the interview team. Were they disbanded after last summer, or are they still operational?
