Current DL pilots all passed the tests to get hired, regardless of what we flew in our previous lives. After the CJO, we all did the brain dump and moved on to bigger and better things like "I'm a molecule of air moving thru the pack of the 727". For whatever reason, DL used those tests to filter out candidates that they didn't want. I have no idea what those filters were/are, but successful candidates probably went above and beyond to study, get the gouge, network and prepare for the interview..'cause a job with Delta was on the line..!

Maybe that's the trait they're looking for? ..

Anyway, I agree with Bar and Gloopy..bring the large RJ flying back to mainline as DCI collapses and HIRE the pilots we need to fly them...Delta pilots should fly all Delta pax flying on jets painted in Delta colors! JMHO

Gouge is spot on. Emerald Coast was amazing prep. Nicest HR interview experience I could have ever imagined, very impressed by everyone there.

Did they mention if the interview pool was shrinking? I've got a OTS bud waiting for the call.
