A little. More telling would be the results of enlargement of the ATL MD88 Category and see where that falls.

Being near the bottom of the stove pipe, every other aircraft movement in Atlanta effects it. For instance, if they pull 737 flying to Detroit, the MD88 category would become more senior.

I believe that if you aren't selected because of either the psych eval or the panel portion you cannot be interviewed again. Sorry.

Anyone know how long an ER qual is good for? Trying to figure out if I'm going to have to redo WWO/ TOE's when I convert back to the ER.

thanks, I choked on one of the Situationals... kinda depressing... but so goes life.

There are a whole variety of ways to blow it with the interview panel. As far as interview prep, it is probably worth it although many have been hired without it. If you had an opportunity to win $4 million in 30 minutes if you passed a test, would you study?

IMHO getting good gouge on the cog test is very helpful. As with any skill, practice makes perfect.

There were several questions that I'd never asked myself, which were asked in the interview. Questions like, what do you struggle with in your flying career? There were also some technical questions in mine which resembled a little mini type oral, which were worked into scenarios. One was "the airport is calling for winds variable and gusting to XX knots, Captain says he wants to continue ... do you continue into windshear?" (the scenario wasn't really "windshear" and knowing the definition verbatim justified my answer) "Flight attendants are taking wine off the airplane, what do you do?" is more diifcult.

Good interview prep will help you get a feel for what Delta is looking for, particularly on issues which are questions of how you handle yourself when confronted with another employee not doing what you think they should.

To Delta's credit, they have mostly hired a very homogenous pilot group, despite their varied backgrounds and experiences. Everyone gets along, is highly proficient and does a very good job, which I credit to the selection process.

As far as I know the interview prep company AirApps went out of business. The FedEx pilot who has the consulting service in Pensacola probably is the best of the remaining providers. He's on this board.

(one strange thing that may, or may not, still be true is that Delta had integrated the back office HR for Comair and ASA and still had access to their records. Panel questions about sick calls, discipline, etc had to be answered very precisely. The theory was that a missed answer was being untruthful and thus disqualifying. HONESTY is critically important and an instant disqualification if questionable.)

That number is the years since the seniority date of hire as listed on the seniority list for the plugs in each category and adjusted for the AE.

It does not take into account that a plug might have a DOH earlier than someone senior to them but per the SLI construction they're junior. For instance I'm showing the plug on ATL A330 A being a 1985 hire and the pilot one number senior in category being a 1988 hire.

It simply look at the category, who is the plug, how long have they've been here.

I think I saw 7ER A in NYC go down to the 6500's....that was south of everything else,

Nu

There is a chart in FOM 15.3 detailing OE. TOE seems to be up to the company.
