Dal is still at 85/mo, and with United hiring 100/mo, and AA hiring 50+/mo, some of the potential flows/ssps are gonna go elsewhere and not necessarily rely on flow. Ive actually met quite a few who chose not to flow and went to other majors. Youre going to see hiring REALLY open up once AA goes to the same 85-100 number as DAL and UAL, but that may not happen realistically until after May 2016 (recalls last chance to go back). So basically, hiring still isn't in full swing, but its very very close and the calls are coming soon. This is a very exciting time. The call is coming. Stay patient and keep networking and improving your resume any way you can.

Not sure where this "UAL is hiring 100/month" keeps coming up from.
Not true. Wasn't true when people stated that over a year ago and not true today.
Yes, hiring is continuing. But I can tell you that we are not losing 100 pilots a month due to retirements, nor have we been adding 100 pilots to the bottom of the seniority list each month.
50 is actually closer to the real number~

It definitely doesn't hurt to network, your name constantly popping up is what helps to get you the invite before others with a very similar score. I have been told that's where networking counts. Until we meet the scoring criteria they are selecting from. We are just spectators.

It will get interesting to see where it all goes. If they take more ssp people the endeavor operation will be more strained than it is.

I've been following your posts here for a while. You seem hellz-bent on Delta which is good 'cause you know what you want. Is it Delta or nothing or have you applied to other majors? How about applying to JB or Spirit. Maybe that would put you over the edge and get more notice if not interview experience. Just curious.
Peace

Thanks for the response. You are correct, Delta #1 choice for me. I have numerous contacts with them and I grew up where they began. So from a young age it's always been about Delta for me - in my blood.
I have applied to: UAL, AA/US, JetBlue, UPS, Spirit, and plan FedEx when they are open. Haven't heard anything from any of them and I do have several contacts with many of them that I interact with regularly. I update apps at least twice a month. I feel DL is my best shot though and it's where I highly desire to work.
Regards!

Sooo, I opened my email this morning and there it was. An email from airlineapps! Finally, my long awaited Delta interview had invite had arrived? Nope, just a reminder that my airlineapps membership had expired and I needed to pay more money to keep my app on file. Wah wah wah...
I thought those if you patiently waiting your turn like myself might appreciate that story!

That stinks! Hopefully it's the last time you have to pay. I'm due the first of next year.
