I’d advise to have some sort of bag to carry the paperwork you’ll turn in within the first five minutes (logbooks, mil records, other forms they ask for) and then it will go into the bag room. It’s nice to have all the stuff in one spot to not dig through your crap and look disheveled.

Also, just from what I gathered in my experience in August. Do what makes you comfortable. I went out and bought a new suit. Ultimately, to me it felt stiff and rigid, so I went with a black suit I’ve had for years. Had just been dry cleaned as a backup. But it was broken in and I felt freedom of movement with it and it made me comfortable. They could care less. I was hired in a black suit, met guys hired in a blue suit and gray suit. Assortment of ties. Wear what’s comfortable and makes you feel confident and that you won’t second guess yourself. If that’s a red tie, great. If it’s a blue tie, do it. They openly said it makes no difference. Be professional, be organized, be prepped and do what makes you feel gives you the best version of yourself on D-Day.

Having said all that, it’s as laid back a day as you can imagine. They are all super inviting and ready to hear your “story.” Own mistakes, show you learned from them, and be positive and smile (through the mask).

Best of luck!

Red tie on my first interview, wasn't hired. Blue tie on my last interview, hired. I think it was the blue tie that pulled me over the line......And side note another guy on my day was wearing a purple suit. He was hired. I don't think all this suit/tie stuff really matters as long as it fits and isn't way outside the norm.....

I have full respect for the purple suit guy. Bottom line is do what makes you comfortable. That guy wanted to stand out and he pulled it off.

I wore a suit that that ten years old. I folded it up in my roller bag and ironed it in the hotel.

I understand Delta has positive space for commuters thru Nov 2022. This is only a temporary provision.

Does that positive space benefit extend to international commuting?
