Don’t try to game the personality portion. That’s kinda what it’s looking for. FWIW when I took it almost 2 years ago the skills were mostly useful, the personality either didn’t exist or wasn’t helpful.

Did you get a class date? Any idea what are the CJO dates for the latest class?

I believe it is Feb/Mar CJOs for August class. Plus military folks who were waiting on their availibility dates to come up and don't forget Endeavor flows.

Last class: 34 pilots

Average age: 35
Average time: 4,100 hours

Drops
ATL 717
DTW 320/717
LAX 73N/7ER
MSP 320/73N
NYC 220/7ER

Anyone with a CJO get awarded a class yet recently?

Thanks for the drop. Looks like all 717s in ATL for the last few classes.
For anybody on the last class congratulations!! Any idea what was the latest CJO for your group?

does anyone anticipate the latest meltdown having some negative effect on the number of new hires being onboarded?

No, although it's a #$@% right now, it won't effect the plans for the upcoming fall/winter/spring.

It just re-shows the company that more is needed to track crews and communicate a plan effectively when the #@#$@ hits the fan during an IROP. Like our CEO's have said in the past, IROPS happen, it's the recovery that can make the difference.

Does anyone know how Delta pilot hiring wants applicants to address lost logbooks?

I’m a 20-year mil guy and the only general aviation flying I’ve done was the time it took to get a PPL during IFT prior to UPT, and my ATP practical.

I had a GA logbook capturing that comparatively little bit of flight time but that box has long been lost in several moves.

How should I address that? I hear other legacies want to see a notarized lost logbook affidavit, as well as your 8710s from the FAA to substantiate the time and to build continuity of your career time/ratings. Delta seems rather exact in what they want for paperwork, so I don’t want to show up to an interview with extra pieces of paper and disrupt the process, but I also don’t want to just have the Cessna/Beechcraft time in my electronic logbook as baseline entries without anything to substantiate it.

I’ve emailed the hiring team and waiting to hear back—just wanted to bounce this off the APC hive mind in case anyone else has been/heard of this situation. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I don’t work in pilot hiring but I did go through the process and got hired. Specifically to your situation, your single-page FHR + green folder/whatever printouts from the other systems were after the green folder are far more important. Write it out simply and professionally and it shouldn’t be a problem.

Anecdote: a friend of mine did not have their green folder and they were hired recently with a memo that basically stated “these are accurate to what the Air Force has on file, as they changed their record keeping…”

You can also ask on the Delta Air Lines Pilot Recruiting FB page.

Good luck!

I'm a relatively new Delta hire and have a similar background to you. I used milkeep (https://www.milkeep.com/) to digitize my records and then did an app review with Checked and Set (https://checkedandset.net/) to make sure the hours were filled out "correctly" for each airline I was applying to. It'll cost a little bit of money and there will still be some manual labor / auditing you need to do on your own, but it's a pretty good 90% solution and will save you a lot of pain. Good luck.
