Any mid to last third August CJO’s still waiting background? I’m almost at 30 days and haven’t heard a word…

are classes offered after the background check and PRIA is complete or can they offer a class while it is still taking place?

I received the interview invite right as my company sent me out of town for 5 weeks. I called and spoke with them. They asked when I'd be available and scheduled it for then. They also said that if I was delayed to call back and they'd push it back. They were really flexible about it.

How far out did they schedule your interview?

Has anyone used the ReadySetTakeoff (RST) prep for the online assessment? How well did it help applicants prepare?

As mentioned a few times in this thread, would recommend the Cut-E prep. It’s 90% what you’ll see on the online assessment. Unfamiliar with RST though. Good luck!

Just got the invite this morning:-) very excited!

Is there still a technical test at the interview?

My GOD, read the thread. Seriously. How many people will ask this question over and over again. Have you done any research about the process to get the job you applied for???

Edit: Shouldn’t drink and post. No. There isn’t a JST, but there is an assessment online. The prep for it is posted one line above your post. Good luck.

This particular thread is the unofficial new "Latest and Greatest Delta" thread. That particular thread was directly responsible for getting a great many pilots hired in the big wave 2006-2008; I expect this will be much the same.

Read, learn, apply, do. (this thread, not the Latest and Greatest). Pay for the interview prep, buy the recommended suit, clean up your logbooks, and be ready for the job of a lifetime. That interview is probably the closest thing you'll have to a winning lotto ticket (if the prize is a 6 figure job with a remarkable office view).

My .02 - Of yesteryear: I spent a weekend consolidating my complete hash of a decade+ of logbooks into 3 extremely professional (and now perfect) logbooks and took both (old and "refurbished") to the interview. Neatness counts. 2 new suits/ties/shoes/shirts. Read everything about recent interviews (here, at the very least). DID THE PRO PREP. Or wing it, because if you're a pilot, you're probably cheap, but understand that FORTUNE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND.

Even if this whole industry/company goes Tango Uniform in a year or 20*, you won't regret getting a CJO at Delta and being able to say "I accept."

Best of luck.

(* - There's some old saw about you not really being a true commercial airline pilot until you've had at least: 1 furlough, 1 divorce, and one failed carrier. I'm 1/3, but the night is still young)

Hardest part for me was converting old paper logs into electronic printouts.

Also, why 2 suits?
