While very true, I think we may be overthinking tails here. I don’t think Delta is going to sit down and say so N616CZ on 7/24/16...tell me all the MELs that were listed on that one that day.

“Yeah so that day it had the APU INOP, and just two NEFs for WiFi INOP and both coffee makers.”

***blank stare from interviewer***

“Ah yes I must be confusing it with another day, it was Bleed 1 deferred with those same two NEFs”

BOOM hired. Too easy.

At my LCC interview, one pilot on the panel solely went through my logbooks, flipping page by page (not just some cursory glance). This was happening while I was fielding questions from the HR and the other pilot on the panel.

If you are at a regional in your career ladder, logbooks are not a formality.

Anyway, what I wanted to ask was what is up with the Compass 'stache? I've had 2 CZ guys JSing to/from SEA now who looked to be in their 20s with the most pilotey mustache I've seen.

Agreed, Delta is all about attention to detail. You hand everything in at the beginning of the day. They (the selection panel of 3 people) will go through your logbook and other documents for an hour before you walk in and talk to the panel. Again, the more detail the better. Consider the fact that at one point before the NW/DL merger, DL was 95% military pilots (guess who does a majority of the interviews), attention to detail is everything in the military. If you have the interview you should do everything to stand out, why give yourself a reason to not...

Except for the fact they will have zero clue that you flew N6###CZ instead of N6###CZ.

Guess I’m going to let RosterBuster do it’s best... fill in the blanks when I can.

This is all I was saying. Jesus dudes. Yes they go through the logbooks. No they can’t verify anything except addition.

Landed 45 min early, gate open, never stopped

Downside is I probably lost 0.1 of flight time on that flight
