Delta Hiring News
Hello everybody... AirlineApps question for the group... If I had an engine failure during a 121 flight (just failed, tower shaft failed so it just died) and we landed with no issues, no negative FAA action was taken... This would be considered an incident for the application, correct?
Never heard anything about it, including my interview. I also used it as a story. Got hired.
Had the exact same thing happen (well, sorta, but close enough), and I put it down. I had a couple self-proclaimed hiring experts tell me not to put it down, but I figured since Delta puts such a big emphasis on attention to detail and not lying, I thought openness was a better option. If there's a question, put it down.

I felt otherwise. Delta cares about honesty. Personally, I felt it better to be more open than not. So I put it down.
Definitely. I'd prefer to have the interview people say, "Oh, that's not an incident, that's no big deal" than "why did you leave this situation with the damaged gear (or whatever) off the application?"

Their theory was that is was questionable whether it was an NTSB incident or not ("Incident means an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations."), and that it was better to leave any not-absolutely-required negative things off the application.

Also, reportable events are further clarified:
“Failure of any internal turbine engine component that results in the escape of debris other than out the exhaust path”
