He got the invite, and apparently has 7 days to schedule the interview, but all he is hearing is crickets after leaving a voicemail.

I tried calling the number they gave him, same issue, straight to voicemail.

thanks,

Hey I’m in the same interview class, Dec 1st I’m guessing. I had a friend say they got their background/PRIA stuff on the following Monday.

I've heard of other having to make multiple calls a day before finally getting through.

I would also try emailing as well as sending DM to the Delta Pilot Hiring FB account.

The wide bodies don’t seem to get as much last minute premium and their hours tend to be more predictable. They’re generally older and have been hustling for a long time, although they do still work some long nights.

Also don’t forget to factor in all the expenses which can quickly eat into your bottom line. Depending on the city you might need a place to rest your head for a few hours in between shifts of servicing customers. Flophouses or crashpads are usually pretty affordable places to stay, but can be busy at all hours of the day and night with the other hourly transient workers coming and going. Clothing- the customers expect you to look a certain way. You’ll be spending some money on your appearance: hair, shoes, jacket, etc. Medical- the boss is gonna want you to get evaluated once or twice a year- just to make sure you’re safe to be around the customers.
