I heard a rumor that there are no-shows for Delta First Officer classes. Any truth to this?
I live in Atlanta, was getting my medical and this came from a Delta pilot. Specifically he stated that around 30% of classes are empty and that a lot of pilots were leaving for FedEx due to their pension.

Our wait time to start is still 2-3 months. That’s with 200 starting per month.
People will always move to different airlines early on. The pension at FedEx isn’t the driving force. Nor is our profit sharing why some at FE come to Delta. 9/10 times domiciles are the determining factor.

Good information, thank you.
How much preparation does Delta do for each First Officer student prior to Indoc starting? The reason I ask is that I live in Atlanta maybe 25 minutes from the Delta training center, so if someone fell out could I be put into the Indoc class?

I had a guy in my class a earlier this year in a similar situation. He was told they look at who in the next class has a request in to come sooner. You could email them and ask to be contacted if a spot opens.

This. That goes for interview dates and class start dates. I had a buddy that interviewed in 2019 that got a last second call for an interview date. Got in a month early. At today’s hiring, that’s a lot of numbers…
