Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Flew with a Line Check Airman last night...we were blitzing. He stated that in a recent meeting the discission was that interviews would occur late this year for 2013 hires, about 500, then 500 annually.

Hmmm. In that case, who here thinks it's worth $500-600 in admission and travel expenses to go see a Delta recruiter for two or three minutes at Women in Aviation next week? Did anyone go that route back in the day? Does it make a difference?

I wasn't planning on it, but if Delta is really going to interview this fall, maybe I should go. Even though I'm not a woman. Although....

Does anyone know where the first look items can be found for the recurrent sim's. I thought they were located in the DIG, but not anymore.

Thanks

Thought of the day:
Delta makes $4 million a year off of it's employees from the $50 fee charged for travel benefits.
Carry on...

I would share his other thoughts, but I think he might be on this forum so I will keep my mouth shut. However, his expectations and mine were vastly different.

Come on, KC10. He said that with a smile on his face, right? Really? :confused:

How much do you think it costs them, in resources and time, to process all of those employees non-reving?

And it's non-employees at Comair, as well.

And Compass, PNCL, ASA, SkyWest, Go-Jet, CHQ, and Shuttle America.

No I'm not joking. I only brought up his crew tags because I wouldn't expect a DPAer to have expectations so low. He was really concerned about vacation time and commutable trips.

BFS,

First Look Maneuvers are randomly selected so you won't find them. 2 per pilot. Non-jeopardy/train to proficiency. You can bet at least one will be an RTO. Also look at windshear on app/departure, CAT III approaches, and flap malfunctions.

That is just sad.
