Seems like a lot of wanking to me over something that isn't going to change. The price of admission into the airline industry is extremely high. A four year degree is just another ticket that you have to get punched along the way for your shot at "the show". It is what it is and it ain't gonna change any time soon.

I've no idea if Delta looks at a credit report, but I'd almost bet they do.
In the past they were very thorough.

Who knows how they are going to run things this time. A lot has changed since the merger with NWA.
In the past they were very thorough. They want folks with a stable home that are going to show up to work and fly airplanes without distractions or drama. One aspect of the job is being 6,000 miles away from home in a place where you are a target. Some flights require 4 man crews. One guy gets into a mess and an airplane and 300 pax are stuck on the wrong side of the planet.

The majors can be very selective and they have every right to be. I am not by any means advocating using BK to get rid of unwanted debt, however, after 7 years there is little airlines can do to find out about it. I don't worry about it since I was on a pay as you go plan. This is a keep your nose clean kind of business.

For those using this thread for information:
Delta CEO Richard Andersen on Airline Industry: Video - Bloomberg
Mr. Anderson makes it pretty clear what it means to be a Delta employee and what he expects. The emphasis has not changed much since Delta's first logo which contained the words "Safety, Comfort, Speed." In modern vernacular this might be best stated "Safety, Customer Service, Efficiency." The more a candidate can demonstrate his ability to hit those points, the better their odds of convincing Delta to hire them.

The implied question is are students getting that much smarter, or have the standards been lowered to accept more admissions and thus more money for the school?
