Hired! No doubt the company minder sitting in the corner was pleased with your initiative.

This is dumb. How do you know he wasn't a local and just drove in that morning? How do you know he didn't get in late the night before on a delayed flight? Maybe he's just there for business, not socializing? Could be a hundred different reasons. This is a lot of judgement just because a stranger didn't want to have dinner and drinks with you before the biggest day of his career.

Saying someone didn't get the job because they slam clicked the night before is about as dumb as saying they didn't get the job because they weren't wearing a blue suit and red tie. The truth is that the hiring process is a complete mystery to all but those who run it and we make crap up to try and make it make sense. Because thats what pilots do.

I don’t know of anyone doing 220 training in Miami. Our class 220 peeps have about 3 weeks after indoc before they start sims.

I think it was MCO not MIA that we were using for 220 sims, and to my knowledge, that is no longer.

I don’t think AB in MIA has 220 sims

I called Delta Pilot Selection, they didn't have an answer. I called the background check company and they gave me a different Delta e-mail to try. Sent them an e-mail yesterday and haven't heard back today. I guess it's possible that it's just not done. I'll give it a couple days I figure calling them incessantly doesn't do anything.

Yep hired! Heck I shoulda just gotten a few tall boys and finish cranking through season 1 of Yellowstone. Much more valuable than the Ruby Tuesday visit. But I also slam click a lot more these days than I used to so it's probably just me. Yea probably me. Nevermind, go to ruby tuesdays, have a blast, best time ever.

Don't wait too long. I was one of the “forgotten children” with the third party vendor. I stayed on them three days straight and finally got someone on the phone to tell me they just never submitted my packet back to DAL. That was 11am, and around 1330 I had my indoc email. Just be careful with them and don’t just take the first answer you’re given. I’ve heard it’s not been a very happy marriage between the vendor and DAL.

I hang out randomly at Spondivits, Malone’s, and Ruby Tuesday judging how quickly interviewees order the beer amongst the group and report back to pilot hiring

Man after reading through some of this thread, you peeps gotta chill out and just interview. Don’t listen to past stories of doom and gloom from the hiring department at the big D. The interview is way chill and these folks want to hire you. Don’t worry about all this logbook nonsense, don’t highlight and tab or whatever that was all about. Just show up to the interview feeling good and looking good, be yourself and everything else will fall in place.

I respectfully disagree on not tabbing the logbooks. It’s quick and easy to do, and helps to visually present your career progression in a more evident and linear way to the interviewers. Plus, it may prevent them from asking questions if they can’t find or figure out something.

I think I had green tabs for check rides, yellow for a failure, and blue for each time I changed aircraft type. Sort of the “chapters” of my career. Used a cheap label maker to title the tabs as my hand writing is awful. Not that any of this is required or necessary.

But yeah, they’re normal people and want to hire you!
