Hey guys, new to the Delta forum so I apologize if this has been addressed.

I was just wondering if Delta still takes into consideration how long you took to finish your 4 year degree, what school you went to, and what your GPA was?

I was told that some people don’t get called because it took them 6 years to finish their bachelors. Also a guy with a GPA of 2.9 in mechanical engineering weighs more than a guy with a GPA of 3.5 in creative writing. Any truth to this?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Took six years to graduate. Degree in general studies from a medium sized state university. GPA 2.0. Still got hired at Delta. College isn’t everything.

I might be overthinking this and would appreciate clarification.

Assuming a 2 day RES GS which begins on an XX day and ends on a RES day. If day 1 is 2 hours of block and 2 hours of DH, will the trip pay 2 or 4 hours above guarantee? I believe DH is considered credit and credit pays on the last day of the trip, but I've got this random thought in my brain that keeps telling me that under this specific circumstance you get paid your block and DH instead of just block. Thanks for your time.

Yes, paid like a shadow bid. You were bidding in a category that you’re not qualified right?

They did not displace anyone. They canceled training for 6 or 7 FO’s before they started training. No Captains were effected and they rebid the positions. They were canceled because they needed the sims for CA checkouts.

I personally flew with an FO the other day who was displaced from the 350. He was awarded 350B, then got displaced off 350B to the 330B (previous airplane was the 7ERB). While in 330 training he was reinstated to the 350.

So, he was on his last leg of OE on the 330, then he'd fly the line for a month, then start training after that. He wasn't very happy with it all.
