I am also working on a degree online. Does anybody know of anyone who has gotten on at Delta with four or more failures?

Impossible to say. I got hired. Failed PPL flight, CFII oral, T-1 UPT checkride, then another T-1 oral. Those last two aren’t really “checkrides” per se, but I talked about what I learned from them in the interview. Just pass all your 121 training events and you’ll get on somewhere for sure eventually.

That has not been the case for a while. It is usually 50%-70% civilians who interview.

An oral is part of the checkride. A failed oral is a failed checkride.

I don't count required DGI guys.

I think he was more referencing that his T-1 check and oral aren’t quite on the same level as an FAA Check...as they’re more progress checks. Just the way it read to me.

My mistake, I didn't see the T-1 oral. I thought he was referring to the CFII oral.

CFI orals have a high failure rate and some people forget to count those as failures on their application. I have reviewed a few applications that try to treat the oral as something separate than the checkride.

Comments like the one above are only opinions based off the perception of how competitive it is. You make your own reality. PM sent.

Or made it.

Nothing wrong with having hope, but it's fair to be honest about one's competitiveness.

It's an internet forum, so we should all understand the quality and variety of feedback one will get here.

I know guys who have been hired here with more than 2 failures.

It's probably more like 7/10 for non-mil guys in new-hire classes.

I’m sure this has been asked but a search only brought up a ton of results to sift through so sorry for the repeat.

Does Delta give any additional credit for a Master Degree? I’m at a 135 where I’m building a lot of TPIC/year (6-700hrs) and hold a leadership position and lots of company volunteer. I have 1600 121 SIC but I cannot make it work with family and financially right now to go to a regional for 121 PIC time. Wish it were in the cards but it’s not.

Thanks!
