Delta Crew Schedulers
 

Hey all, sorry for posting this in a pilot forum but I cannot find the answer anywhere. I understand that Delta contracts their schedulers through a third party. Does anyone know this third party company? Thanks!

Only company I can think of is DGS, which is owned by Delta.

Not as far as I know, never heard that. They seem to be Delta employees, working in the main facility like everyone else.

Crew accomodations are contrators. I believe schedulers and trackers are company employees.

All crew schedulers are Delta employees.

Thanks guys! Do you guys know if it's primarily internal hiring or if DL will go external for schedulers?

No clue.

My guess is they would take from anywhere with a bonus if you're internal. One likely source is taking from regional airlines like Endeavor or ExpressJet but these are all guesses.

Are you trying to get hired or asking for friend?

I'm trying to get hired. I'm a regional FA trying to be a dispatcher. I'd like to actually make money somewhere in the industry so I can save up for the license while getting experience in an SOC. Keeping my fingers crossed DL or UA will open up at some point. Apps in at SWA and AA.

This made my day!!😂

DL has a program to upgrade deserving employees to dispatchers. I think they cover the costs.

I hear it is the "fizziest" of sodas....😁

Scheduling is now about 70/30 Delta to outside contractors, they are no longer ALL Delta employees. Decision One is the contractor and what that pipeline looks like I have NO idea, but I do know that's who they come from. This started about two years ago as a way to stay under the merit head count. I can also tell you that it seems to be an unofficial policy that the contractors who do well in the department seem to get first consideration for the move up when it comes to open Delta slots. It was mentioned here before but just to reinforce it, the Delta Dispatch Academy is a great way to get your certificate and there is some financial assistance available in the form of a loan that you pay back over time, it's a very reasonable payment schedule and it's a non factor in the paycheck impact department. It is however NOT a guarantee of a job in Flight Control but it seems to be the method that DL prefers to find candidates to fill open Dispatch positions and that stands to reason. They have already been tested and passed the personality and skills assessments and they have the opportunity to evaluate you over nine weeks. Good luck in your quest.

you might also want to look at openings in DL central load. They also work in the SOC and might give you a good shot at moving into a dispatch roll. the only people at DL that I know of that have gone into scheduling or central load have been internals. I think they offer the job internally first and if they are unable to fill it then it goes to the outside world.
