I'll take that bet.

Especially since Delta's minimums are very, very low. Up until the FAR change it was commercial multi and I think 1200 TT. Not sure if its been updated to ATP or not but I seriously doubt in a year DL will be hurting for 1500 TT pilots.

Don't pay any attention to Mesabah. They didn't go anywhere near all the list. There was some that got the call outside of the SSP and are doing the normal 2 day interview.

There are certain things that have changed at the interview. If you have old gouge, keep on studying that information but the questions on the aviation knowledge test have expanded. The HR interview is slightly different because of the types of questions being asked. The people who have been successful so far have been studying for a long time and are prepared for the HR interview.

Are offers of employment given out that quickly? (i.e. immediately after your interview?) I assumed one would fly home, then wait nervously by the phone for several days/weeks for "the call".

You get a conditional offer on day 1. You still have to pass the medical test and pscyh evaluation on day 2.

If you pass the first day you are given a "conditional letter of employment" pending your background check and psychological testing/interview. You usually find out your class date a month later.

The medical test has been eliminated from the interview process.

I have no idea how that happens or what they are looking for, but from having flown with this guy he was a good pilot.

Delta is just looking for good guys. You don't want to kill your mom.
