My numbers:
- 23 yrs flying, all Air Force
- 3,100 hrs IP
- 4,000 hrs PIC
- 5,050 hrs Total
- 4,980 hrs Turbine
- 3,100 sorties (Turbine)
- 1,324 MEL sorties (mostly T-37s with about 2.5 yrs in C-130s)
- Never been a DO, FE or had any Safety stink on me (bummer)
- Currently a T-6 Texan IP (last 9 yrs straight) but have only got about 191 hrs in last 12 months (that's about average for me over those 9 yrs). Yes, I'm trying to ramp up hours but every day I fly "today" I lose 1 day's worth of flight time (if I flew that day) from 1 yr ago. So, is there a min number of hours Delta likes in the last 12 months and if so, what is it?

Bueller? Bueller?....

Publishing aps in about a week. I'm sick of counting beans from my AF flight records folder.

Thanks in advance!
Don't know what to tell you. I have recommeneded 4 guys, only 1 that got an interview was a flow through guy. The other guys are great pilots with a good resume. Even better they are great guys and would be great pilot for Delta. I have talked to Cheif Pilots and even a guy that does interviews. Nothing, these guys are just waiting.
SW did hire one. He wanted Delta as his first choice.

Email from the FBO - this is the most current info
Landing Fee: $6.00 Security Fee: $5.00 Facility Fee: $40.00 waived with 15 gallons of fuel or a top off Overnight Fee: $10.00 per night Drop Fee: $20.00 ( this fee is applied in place of the facility fee if the aircraft does a quick turn without fuel)100LL is 8.99/gal

3/15/15 is the date of the trip. Arriving around 9:30 am and departing 1 pm. Hopefully I won't gum up the works too much Flew a 172 to KATL back in '95 and the controllers did a very good job of sequencing us.

I tried to get the HR rep in my interview to divulge what the magic app contains, but mum was the word. I can only go by my app which obviously hit the markers. My times are were very similar to yours, for what that is worth. I did have a couple safety stints though, if that is even a player. I also have a grad degree. I'm assuming that as a 23 year AF pilot, you do too. I've done about a dozen letters, and only one has gotten an invite, a USN P3 guy who had what I considered low flight time. I basically said some of the guys walk on water, and e mailed their apps directly to HR. No call......It's a total mystery.

I agree. It's just faded a little bit.

I haven't flown GA in a really long time. Is that really the going rate of 100LL or is it just expensive because you landed in ATL?
