Good stuff there. More out of curiosity than anything, how does Delta (or other airlines) go about verifying stuff like this on an application? If I ran a charity organization and got a phone call from a company looking to hire an individual and verifying that he had volunteered for my organization, I might question their reasons for volunteering in the first place. Perhaps I have the wrong take on it, just thinking out loud.

 

Charity organizations are businesses to, I don't think I would question any persons motives or care for that matter as long as they were putting in the effort. Everyone has their reasons.

 

I guess that's fair. Just curious. I suppose any organization of any size certainly wouldn't care.

 

I don't know how / if they verify. Probably the candidate would tell on themselves if they lied.

For instance, I had worked a little on Ship 41 for the Delta Heritage Museum ... they asked what I did, who I was working with, played a little "hey, you know so n so?" Any dishonesty would have been discovered quickly. With Habitat they wanted to know where, what I had worked on, etc .... Most people love to talk about themselves ... they provide plenty of opportunity.

It "feels" like just chatting with friends who you have a lot in common with. They were confrontational a bit, but if you pulled the right answer out they laughed and moved on. In my case they set up a TMAAT which was going to lead into a missed approach. I told them what they had described was not windshear at my carrier. So, they asked our criteria and were satisfied my reasoning for continuing was in accordance with ops specs.

Know your own airline / airplane. They may ask out of curiosity.

Delta has been soliciting internally for charity volunteers. A person could always snoop around "Delta Force for Global Good" and try to get on a team near a place convenient for you. IMHO that would be a cool place to score a LOR.

 

0ver 10,000 times too.

 

Delta Force for Global Good?? Man...they really are trying to run a mini-Navy over there!

 

Any new rumors?

 

Yup, Endeavor guys are starting to get emails, I got one today. I have a feeling they're gonna take a lot of us, can't wait.

 

"Update your résumé" emails or "Schedule an interview" emails? A few folks I know have gotten the former email. Congrats to everyone getting a look and/or interview!

 

Awesome. Congrats and well deserved.
