I got the email last Monday, called immediately the next morning and got an interview 5 weeks after. They said you can wait up to 2 weeks to call in... but I guess I called maybe 10 minutes before the guy that got the same email and got an Interview in March.

No "Fix It" emails, luckily.

My background:
TT: 3700 hours
IP/EP: 720 hours

C-17 Evaluator Pilot
MC-12 Mission Commander
C-21 Aircraft Commander

3 Recs internal, 1 CA, 2 FOs.

I have the Feb 20 and hopefully Feb 21st Interview. If you are in town the same time and want to meet up before, PM me! Good Luck to All!

6 total: 1 personal, 2 internal professional, 1 personal/professional from a guy I do volunteer work with, 2 professional from other crew members whom I've flown with at my current company

I was told by a few people internally that the recs help get you the interview, and they aren't even looked at by those who do the interviewing on Day 1.

Good Luck!

Just back

I just got home from my interview. It was a great experience and they really put you at ease when you get there…they want you to succeed. If you get the call, be yourself and you'll be fine. I went to Cage Consulting at Centennial Airport in Denver and it was definitely worth the $400 to bounce some stories off somebody else, plus get some great tips…I highly recommend them to anybody going for an interview.

SD at a recent road show said that they have 11000ish apps on file, 6000ish meet all Delta requirements and that of that 6000 about 600 had internal recs. These 600 are on the top of the stack and ranked 1 to 600. He said this in the fall, so it could be different now. He gave no indication that number of recs made any difference only that recs were required at this point to be in the top of the stack.

I was surprised only 600 had recs. I would think they could get through this number very quickly.

If that's true then I feel privileged to be among that number.

Well, I have plenty of flight time, all the cool stuff like Stan Eval, Safety etc, a CP rec letter, a 16 yr Cpt letter, an FO letter, two letters from commanders, even a good FAA letter from a controller and the DAL Cpt went to personnel twice and I still got no email or call for interview. App was submitted in Nov.

Just hanging out.
