You think that airlines should solely care about your stick and rudder skills?

You realize you could volunteer for the NRA, right?

Delta takes an active roll in many of the communities it serves. It has many charitable foundations. It wants its employees to share that. They choose to hire pilots that do more than show up and leave.
What's wrong with that?
Withdraw your app if it's a problem.
I don't see Delta supporting any organizations that I support. All I see is Delta supporting left wing organizations like:Originally Posted by PotatoChip

Should I be afraid of the HR PC police by putting a right wing organization on my resume while at the same time I would be rewarded by putting a left wing organization down. Double standard much?Originally Posted by rmcbear08

Oh, sorry, I missed the part where Delta said, "YOU MUST VOLUNTEER WITH ORGANIZATIONS WE SUPPORT."
I'm done wasting my time on this.
There are plenty of cargo outfits in Miami where you would fit in very nicely.

Don't think of it as trying to check another box (although maybe that's why you'll initially sign up for it) but rather a way to enrich your life by giving back to those less fortunate. You just might surprise yourself!
And did all those pilots apply to only one airline? No they haven't, most have probably applied to all of them and will go to the first company that will offer a position. This "so many" number is actually quite a bit smaller than everyone thinks.Originally Posted by rmcbear08
All the recruiters at NGPA said that since there's so many qualified pilots applying, they need SOMETHING to differentiate between them. College degree, GPA, chief pilot/check airmen positions, volunteer experience, etc. They know all the applicants can fly an airplane, but what what separates you from the 10,000 others who want the same position?

Agreed, but it's still more than the vacancies at each company, so HR needs something to discriminate with. Right now it's volunteering. 2 years from now, maybe it'll be a masters degree. Who knows?Originally Posted by JetDoc

Whether or not you volunteer your time tells companies quite a lot about you. Choosing not to tells them "I'm self-centered and I don't care about my community or causes larger than myself."
Like it or not, these companies don't exist to provide you a job. They are free to shape their workforces any way they like, and showing preference to those who volunteer their time is their way of saying "we prefer people who are not just here for a paycheck."
