Thanks Scoop, I have heard as much, that if you get the nod to interview the job is yours to lose, I just don't know anyone who has been hired in the last 2 hiring periods so I was looking for a little insight into the process. Did you just make an excel spreadsheet of your totals broken down into type and category of flight time? Kind of a one page summary sort of thing?

 

Well at least not JD.

 

Hmm, I hope not....

 

Back in '01, I just brought in copies of all my stuff, Form 8s, 942 and OPRs. They didn't even look at them. Good luck!

 

Thanks, I guess that is what I will have to do.

 

They need a token Army pilot in this early batch!

 

OB,

Just to give you a little gouge on my situation. I interviewed Feb 08. Background was Navy F/A-18. I had all my current and past skippers contact info on my app. That said, I later checked with each of them and not a single one got a call from Delta before or after my interview. I turned in all my Fitreps and they were never brought up during the interview.

The only thing I'd recommend is cleaning up your logbook. I entered all my stuff into Logbook Pro and had an electronic rip of all my flight time. During the interview they asked for my "logbooks". I gave them my civilian and navy logbooks. One of the guys looked at it for a few minutes while others asked questions. I could see the guy looking through my navy stuff getting a little frustrated. Finally, after 5-10 minutes he closed up my logbook and kind of tossed it towards me saying "I don't make any sense out of this Navy gibberish." My logbook slid of the table. The Navy used to (and I suspect they still do) zero you out at the end of each fiscal year, so there is no total flight time, pic time, etc on the last page of your logbook. At least that's how the Hornet community did it. As a result in order to get total time you needed to add up all the totals from the October (fiscal year end) pages throughout your years.

I'd recommend doing this math for them, using logbook pro, or simply and xls spreadsheet. I offered them my totals from logbook pro and they looked at it along with my logbook and seemed happy.

Let me know if there are any more questions wrt Navy stuff.

The HARM office should be able to print a current Form 5. Your 942 will have to be a copy since they'll want a signed copy.

I had all the documents required copied at Kinkos including FCC license, ATP, etc. 3 copies of each.

I also had an excel spreadsheet of hours which Cal Flannigan (active pilot at the time) took one look at and set aside. He then verified my Form 5 against my application and that was it.

The application is key. It needs to be air tight. If there is some vagueness (ie traffic ticket dates from 16 yrs old), HR will have you write it down and sign it. That app is truth data to HR, everything else is supporting data.

 

I put "N/A" in all the non-applicable containers. The real question is, do I punctuate "N/A" with a period or treat it as a fragment? I was told that kind of stuff matters.

I went without punctuation and stayed consistent (on date and phone number format too). I must be doing it wrong, though... No email.

 

Boomer, where art though?????
