I am just wondering which source you use the send your applications to Delta. I haven't seen any pilot job adverts on their career web page however came up it on https://www.airlineapps.com/. Is this official way to send the applications?

I am a foreigner with 1000 hours on A320, and 3500 hours on A330. I will be upgraded as Captain in company within two years on A320 or B737. I know lack of PIC hours might be an issue in the U.S. but I am tired of being here. Should I try my chance for Delta for the First Officer position or start with the regionals? another question I would like to ask, I currently have ICAO ATLP and UK CAA ATPL with A330/350 types on them. Do you think I should convert my licence to FAA ATP-CTP with TYPE rating in a self-sponsored way, or obtain related trainings and conversion at the company which might hire me.

Thank you

Yes, airline apps is the correct way to apply to Delta (as well as United and several others).

Submit your apps to everyone....if you meet their hiring mins, apply to everyone......regionals, low cost, cargo, legacies, etc....make them say no because they can't say yes unless you apply.

Regionals might have some program to convert foreign certificates to US, but I'm not aware of any. If you want to get here ASAP, then I would get them converted as soon as possible, even if I had to pay out of my own pocket.

Best of luck to you!

Are they accepting religious exemptions for the vaccine?

Its likely a pretty high bar. If you are willing to get other vaccinations it may be very difficult to meet it.

F9 is honoring the exemption requests and issuing approvals within 1 business day. Me and my friends have all gotten vaccine exemptions so just curious as to if Delta would issue them as well seeing that other majors are.

Anyone here been through the process recently that cared to ask them about the exemption?

Do they put all NH in the Hilton across the street - or other hotels as well? Does the Hilton give points for Delta NH rooms?

You'll have to check with the individual property you are assigned, however, the general answer is no stay credits or points

Without FAA ATP forget it.
So definitwly get it one way or another.
Cheapest way is probably convert your foreign license to FAA PPL, from there on do your instrument and CPL checkride. Should be easy amd quick... good friend of mine did it in like a month. Then any regional would pay for your ATP CTP and ATP. Once you have it say goodbye and go apply everywhere...

So for the second attempt at the Online Assessment how exactly does it work?

Do you automatically get an email at 6 months to try again? I'll be in training so I won't be able to take a few days off to practice for it. The first time they just gave me a 7 day notice.

I failed both Delta and United. Those tests are nuts. I got another United Hogan invite 4 mos later and the Delta invite 6 mos later. I used a company called Career Takeoff who supposedly has 100% success. I passed both tests the second time around. Good luck!

I got a letter from the airline each time I failed that told me I failed. It might be different now at United now.

Can you show the exact chapter and verse in your faith’s religious doctrine where it states vaccines are not permissible? Can you show that you’ve consistently applied this prohibition to other vaccines, or is it just the one you’re also politically opposed to?
