[QUOTE=hockeypilot44;1450215]I'm pretty sure Amelia Earhart has a degree from Purdue University. . . . . QUOTE]

She began junior college at Ogontz School in Rydal, Pennsylvania but did not complete her program.[

By 1919 Earhart prepared to enter Smith College but changed her mind and enrolled at Columbia University, enrolling in a course in medical studies among other programs.[37] She quit a year later to be with her parents who had reunited in California.

she returned for several months to Columbia University but was forced to abandon her studies and any further plans for enrolling at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology because her mother could no longer afford the tuition fees and associated costs. Soon after, she found employment first as a teacher, then as a social worker in 1925 at Denison House, living in Medford, Massachusetts.[45]

Earhart joined the faculty of Purdue University in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and as a technical advisor to the Department of Aeronautics

The Purdue University Amelia Earhart Scholarship, first awarded in 1940, is based on academic merit and leadership and is open to juniors and seniors enrolled in any school at the West Lafayette campus. After being discontinued in the 1970s, a donor resurrected the award in 1999.

I'm not convinced this shortage will reach Delta. How many well qualified guys (degree(s), lots of TPIC, clean record, etc) are currently waiting for a call? 5,000? Maybe even 10,000? And probably half or more have strong internal recommendations. Unfortunately, this flow is forcing you to gobble up the entire bell curve when you could be hand selecting from the right hand side.

As an off the street wannabe, I know I'm biased. I've also never flown for the regionals. But I have to think that a regional interview using Delta's format is NOT the same as a Delta interview.

Here's someone videoing the video:



There was no report of any malfunction to ATC prior to them becoming disabled on the runway.

Obviously the nose gear problem was caused by a passenger using an electronic device below 10,000' to record the landing.

Good points. Hope you get the interview offer.
