100 hours is usually the good baseline that is thrown around. Though many have been hired with 0. Just keep your app up to date.

A bit of an apples to other round fruit of similar size and color comparison. But, you were making a sizable wager (especially for me at the time) that you would successfully complete the training program of a new employer which you didn't know much about ahead of time. For most people it was also the first encounter with turbines, simulator training, airline 121/135 operations in highly congested airspace and airports, operating around significant weather (thunderstorms storms and deicing) and managing sleeping and eating on the road during long days and trips.

Until probation was over I had this reoccurring thought that my throw of the dice would come up snake eyes and I would have a pile of debt to show for my failure. Fortunately many made it through, some did not. The burden of my gamble wasn't insignificant. Thankfully I was in my early 20s, and very resilient. Today's programs remove some of that uncertainty by involving the prospects and eventual employer in a mutual introduction period that sets rules and expectations.

Default Fix it email from Delta Ref:airlineapp

Received a fix it email from Delta Airlines today. I’m currently deployed to Afghanistan and won’t be able to correctly fix some of the issues. Should I email them and tell them that or just wait until I get back in two weeks to fix it? Also, after it’s fixed how much longer it normally takes to get an interview?

Do you have a spouse, parent or uncle back in states that can help? It might be laborious, but if they have access to your stuff maybe they can fix whatever sections. They could also forward it to one of those sites, dont recall who they are, "ready set takeoff" or someone else that could fix whatever errors Delta found.

From what I've observed, those two weeks aren't going to hurt you. Get home, hug the spousal unit, then fix the stuff. After that, send a short e-mail back that you have fixed the item(s) and include that you were deployed if you like. As for how long it takes to get an interview - data points are all over the map. Good Luck, and stay safe over there.

Wait? You are in Afghanistan and can post on APC, email people, but can't fix your application?

I'm guessing at least one thing isn't data entry, rather finding out the answer to a discrepancy...

RST for the tech and cog tests. Hands down. Don't even think there is another company that does it!

Nobody has wanted to be sued.
