Can anyone who has been through the process comment on what happens after the interview? I am former military and it has proven to be very difficult to track down some of my former CO's personal phone numbers as they are long retired. If I am fortunate to get the conditional job offer, will Delta want to call all of my old supervisors from each duty station? Thank you.

You have to remember that Delta is an old school airline. You will interview with one retired Captain (maybe Timbo one day), one active Captain (maybe Timbo in 2 weeks) and a HR representative. I would strongly recommend a conservative looking suit, shirt, tie and shoes.
You want to fit the mold of a professional pilot. I want the recruiters to remember you by what you say in the interview and not how you are dressed.
FYI, the first interview date available is October 14th. Good luck to all.

Timbo is not held in such high esteem by the wonks on the 4th floor. Timbo fly's airplanes and hates Cubicle Captains. If you interview with Timbo, it will be at the Sea View club in Dubai, or at Sticky Fingers in Hong Kong.
Bring money.
Lots of money.

Timbo, are you still involved with the hiring committee and fast tracking qualified APC users if they PM you?

Thanks GunshipGuy! Also, what do they do with your FITREPS during the interview? Do they have the whole stack on the table with your app and go through each one line by line?

I think FITREPS are the equivalent of OPRs (Officer Performance Reports). No, best I could tell those were being reviewed by someone on the hiring team in another room while you went through the testing and interviewing. At least that's what my take was in '07.

Thanks, yes they are the Navy equivalent of OPRs. Ok, so you never saw them or discussed them during your panel interview? Someone from the team just reviewed them for accuracy compared to your application and background info that you provided to make sure your work history and quals matched up? Just trying to get a more complete grasp on the process before hand.
