Keep in mind that CPZ flows are limited to 130ish a year and Mesaba flows are almost over forever. If the hiring forcast holds up anywhere close to what we're hearing, there will be plenty of off the street civilian opportunities. Be patient, update regularly and triple check your app.

I guess this will continue until the mil pool dries up. But that will take some time. Delta is intentional when hiring.... This I've noticed. Such as my interview, 50/50, 4 mil, 4 civ..... And talking with others, that seems the norm.

I had a couple of SSP clients interview yesterday (7 out of 8 hired yesterday, all SSP candidates) and their class date is in the fall. They are being held back because of staffing needs at Endeavor.

Delta Hiring News
I've been working at a Major for about a year, but I would still like to make the switch to Delta. I've had my app in for over a year and I've continued to update. At first, I thought my experience from another 121 carrier would help, but since I still haven't been called, I'm starting to wonder. Is there any chance that currently being at another major airline hurts my chances of getting an interview? Opinions?
