They keep all that a secret but I think you can probably figure out which schools are ranked highest and which are ranked lowest. It's the middle of the road schools that you have no idea how they are ranked. I had a friend who talked to AK and he said "you didn't go to the online school, did you?" So I don't think Delta ranks the online education as high as others.

FYI DAL is very big on aviation colleges that are accredited by AABI. If you or anyone that you know is considering an aviation college and wants to come to delta, they should have a close look at that. Not many school have that accreditation. All the civvies I know hired this yr went to a school with that accreditation.

Normal guys do get hired at Delta after all the whiz kids are hired.
Congrats to all!

With the emphasis on education I have a question.
A few years ago I worked at a FAR 121 major airline that has since liquidated. Although it wasn't Delta, we did our training at Delta since my airline didn't have it's own simulators. Since I already passed Delta style training, should I put this in my education section as a FAR 121 school or just put my airline employment info in the employment section (where it is now)?
I've been in "fix it" purgatory for about 9 months.
