Fix-it email June 11, fixed same day. Interview invite today, scheduled for 24 September. Anticipation...studying...

 

Waldo what's your background?

 

Hey guys,
I'm retired mil (fighters and trainers) with a fairly competitive resume. I have an application in with DAL. Does DAL require letters of recommendation to get an interview? I know that it never hurts, but I'm still trying to find the guys from my past that are now flying at Delta.

Thanks for the insight!

 

I'm sure somebody will poke their nugget in here and tell how they got an interview without one; but from the outside looking in, it appears the vast majority of off the street applicants getting interviews have at least 1 internal recommendation.

 

Retiring mil tanker and transport pilot. 4000TT, 2600PIC, 2 internal recs

 

Check PMs, AV9er.

 

^^^^^
This.
Or they met some DAL folks at a job fair.

 

First post, so be gentle guys/gals!
First the big news - CJO on Monday! 8 interviewed, 6 offers given. of the 8, 3 where military flying only, 3 were military background currently flying 121, and 2 were civilian flight school, instructor, now regional guys.

Great experience, Delta campus is impressive! Everyone from the folks at the gate on up were professional, friendly, and excited to be there. Can't wait to get started!

Everyone did their best to make you feel relaxed and comfortable....not that that was going to happen!

My timing - application completed last Sept/Oct, though it was terrible until post WAI conference when I learned how I should have filled it out. Interview offer came early June, 6 week wait until the big day. Never got a fix-it email.

Rumors - heard them offering interviews in late September as earliest dates available. Also heard talk of potentially upping the number of interviewees per day from 8 to 12 starting in October. Class dates - 4 Aug is filled, class on 11 Aug, told to expect 18 Aug class. So expect a quick turn after a CJO! Not a problem here, got nothing to do but fish until indoc!

So my question - can anyone point me to a website or another thread to find out about which aircraft as based where, which aircraft fly which routes, aircraft/crew base pairings, etc? 2 wings, couple engines, and some landing gear would be nice (not too picky!) but curious as to what is available out there knowing NYC and ATL are most likely crew bases.
