When I got to the interview, I just told them my dad OWNED Delta Air Lines.

That got me to the sim for extra evaluation.

There are hundreds of questions in the test bank for the Aviation Knowledge Test. You will be receive a study guide from Delta when you are invited to interview.

Review each section of the guide and start building a notebook with as much information as possible. Study the concepts, formulas and ideas. Do not try to memorize questions and answers. If you live by the gouge you will die by the gouge. Use the gouge cautiously.

I'm in the same boat as you. Both my parents fly (CA and FA) for Delta and have 50 years combined at the company. The only way Delta will see that is if your parents write a LOR and/or send an email.
I meet and exceed all the min's, been to the job fair, safety and FE background and still have not received an e-mail. All I can say is be patient and try not to think about it. Just be ready when they do e-mail you. It's frustrating but that is life.
It will happen, just hopefully sooner than later.
Cheers

I had pondered the radar reflectivity question, knowing ice had nearly no return, big water droplets have a large return, and water covered hail should show up pretty well (sooper cooled, liquid state, nasty stuff in a turboprop. Flying the line the game was to paint through the storm, not just the tops. ... Either from the bottom up or top down)

I still don't know the answer they were looking for. The gouge answer was wrong (based on science and experience).

Tried to find the answer: IWC = ¼ sum of r /Z Dmax Dmin ratio by (XN i¼1 fiðDÞViðDÞ" # / NðDÞdD) ... but just went with "B"

Got hired ... go figure.

I am surprised at you Buck. The clear answer to that question was A.

Same boat as you brother. It's a shame it doesn't hold the weight it once did, especially when you exceed the current mins. Good luck to you!

A Delta pilot friend recently reviewed my app and said it was incomplete... Maiden Name needs to say "Not Applicable". EVERY box has to have something in it even if you're answering No to questions and it only asks for an explanation if you've answered yes. Is this true? I've had my app in for 7 years, no emails, so I figured what do I have to lose, I put something in every single box. 10,000+ hours total, 5000 TPIC.

I wish apps were simpler, it is painful to see the frustration.
