Would those who have interviewed recently list a few of the books they used to study that they felt were most helpful? I'm just trying to be ready should I get invited for an interview and already have Mental Math for Pilots, Everything Explained and Ace the technical interview. I've also got the Lumosity app. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Congratulations! You have quite the credentials my friend and with a resume like that, you certainly deserve an interview. Good luck.

We need cv-22s at dal. Besides filling barf bags, it would make ATL-hsv fun!

If you don't mind my asking, how long after you applied did you hear from them?

Why is this question so prevalent on this forum? Delta has directly stated at multiple hiring conferences that how long you have had an application on file and how often you update it add to your score towards getting an interview. If you're military apply today! List an available start date even if its 2 years away. If you're civilian and meet the minimums there's really no excuse! I don't mean to be negative, I just want to see everyone do everything they can to help themselves get hired.

Civilian here, applied 7 years prior to getting the call. Updated regularly. Like SVA said, there's really no excuse to not apply.

Default Couple weeks out

Got the invite a month ago, interviewing Sep 2. Hitting the the tech study material hard, but feeling like it's very repetitive and who knows what I'll get? Reviewing the earlier gouge and "Ace the technical interview" and "everything explained". Separated Air Force last year and flying for SkyWest for almost a year. Did emerald coast seminar last Aug and the phone refresher is in a couple days. Any suggestions on which questions I should focus on? Feel like they can hit me from both sides, mil and also some airline experience.

4462 TT
1826 PIC AC-130U
500+ SIC CRJ
4 internal recs, plus former Squadron CC
3.3 GPA Utah State in Journalism/Philosphy (very non-technical type!)
