Thanks for the info, I figured/hope I hear something sooner than later. I have 5 internal letters of rec. Just would like to know if I updated it correctly or not. I've had a couple of guys look at and they all think it's good. Have guys been getting interviews after getting the emails or crickets?

I think I did all of that. How long does it take to get looked at again?

I received two "fix it" emails regarding education and employment history in the first week of November, then received the interview invite the second week.

This may sound stupid, but printing out the app on paper sometimes helps find the errors. I found several this way only the week before I interviewed.

Plus, there haven't been any interview invites recently as they drain the pool. Just because it's gone quiet doesn't mean you're not close.

Thanks I'm hoping for the call. I just had a couple people go through my app again. I think it's good, but time will tell.

Neither here nor there, don't agree nor disagree......

But by that logic, they should ALSO "hate" the fact that many of the pilots on the current list DIDN'T go through a particular selection process either. IE; NWA and Western. Even those that may have gone though a particular selection process, WEREN'T selected from that particular selection process yet were successful elsewhere. NOW working for that airline.

Interesting, is it not?

The N/E merger made them gun-shy.

I do hope I get the job, I won't be jumping from airline to airline. once I'm on property with an ID, I'm committed.
Ghilis,

I would have to agree with purple on this one. Never forget that you are nothing more than a cost to Delta. Any allegiance you have to them will not be returned. They will not hesitate to furlough you if it makes economic sense. They have no problem taking your retirement or violating the contract. While not an adversarial relationship, just remember if they could get rid of you to save a dime they would. Talk to some 2000-2001 hires they have a pretty good grasp of Delta's opinion of you.

Its similar but not the same. Pilots that come on property as a result of a merger the company chooses to do are one thing. The company has already made that decision at the point of entry and there isn't anything they can do about it. Flow through pilots that actually are new hires on the other hand are a significantly different case. So far DL has chosen to honor the flows, possibly in part out of some level of internal integrity, but mostly because they don't want to be forced to cancel a significant swath of their preferred [way too] large "mainline class" [so called] "RJ's"

In both cases, of course, once on property with a DL seniority number, a DL pilot is a DL pilot. Period.

Yeah, welcome to Delta. Remember, everybody is out to get you.

You guys are unreal.
