Almost 100% of the trips are international. There are times where they throw some domestic in, maybe a DTW-MCO-DTW turn, or a few other trips around the holidays. But you never know, this month there are DTW-SFO-DTW trips. I think in Jan there was MSP-Cancun-MSP or ATL-Cancun-MSP, I don't know who did the MSP trips, but ATL did the ATL-Cancun-ATL. But it's more of a random event, but seems to be happening a bit more these days.

Just because the trip goes DTW-(international destination)-DTW doesn't meant that DTW would fly it. As Crew Resources is fond of say, no base owns their trips, It depends on staffing for each base.

But- here are typical DTW 330 destinations from what I can tell: AMS (lots), FCO (summer), PEK, NGO, PVG, GRU, FRA (starting this summer), HNL. I'm probably missing some, I'm not on the 330 now.

There is no real way to see what the summer trips are that I know of. Bid packages are only around for a short time on Deltanet.

Delta Hiring?
 

I am new to the forums...so don't "shoot me" for asking a question that may have been posted already. When it comes to submitting an application for Delta Airlines, what is the "generally" the turn around time for review? Is there a process that lets a pilot know if the application was good enough?

There is no general time. Some are scored immediately, some are likely never looked at. If you have a DAL pilot write you a recommendation or you speak with a DAL recruiter at a job fair then your application will be scored in the very near future. There are 3 types of feedback I've heard of:

1. Job interview
2. Fix-it email telling you to update parts of your application the computer didn't like
3. Silence

good luck

7 years here, and the first communication I got from DL was an interview invite.

What Mike said was right on.

I was afraid of the silence answer...since all I have heard is crickets...not knowing if it is good enough or bad enough is nerve wracking!!!

Don't let the application just sit there, update it at least once a month with new flight times and any new skills. Re-read it, make sure it's perfect with spelling, grammar, etc.

The company can see how often you update it, more updates the better generally.

Also, don't keep it to yourself. Get many, many eyes looking at it and reviewing it.

Some advice you will like and you'll incorporate it into your app. Some advice won't fit your 'style' but it'll make sense and you'll incorporate it. Still other advice won't make sense/won't seem logical to you and you should feel free to not use it. It's YOUR application.

Everyone who sees your app will have an opinion; measure the source and decide for yourself what advice to incorporate.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but it's something recruiters and Delta's app reviewers will absolutely notice so I'll put it out there.

Delta Air Lines. Three words. That's the correct name. It's a small thing that shows attention to detail.

Working on my airline apps addendum for Delta and come across these two questions. I have only ever had one failure during any of my training in flight school or at my current airline. This failure was my final stage check for my PPL at a 141 school. Which of these questions should I disclose this under? or should I list it under both and just let them decide where it applies?

Have you ever been the subject of an evaluation board or been removed from flight status, downgraded, or failed any portion of flight training either civilian or military?

Have you ever failed ANY checkrides (military or civilian) including phase checks, proficiency checks, FAA check rides, or line checks?

Put it under the second question. It's a phase check failure, not a failure to complete a training program. It shouldn't have any significant affect on your chances either.
