And you think that your addition to any conversation here is useful or revelant? Same goes for TenYearsGone....typically reading Tens material makes me dumber.

 

Hmmm.... Looks like Oberon has duked it out at the regionals for the last decade. I would think his insight is probably a little more current and relevant than either of yours.... But what do I know, regional pilots are the devil!!

 

I'm just curious if anyone has been hired that took longer than 7 years to get a bachelors degree?

 

So...does anyone have any more news on Delta?

 

I seem to remember hearing that somebody did, but that somebody also got a graduate degree, did it relatively quickly, and had a high GPA on his graduate degree, if I remember correctly.

 

All 75 today received NYC. Mixture of 7ER, 737, 320, 717, and 88.

 

Last rumor I heard was anything over 5 years was a bad thing. If you took 10 years to get your bachelors degree and got a 3.0 but then got your masters in a record time and a gpa of 3.8 then they don't seem to care about the bachelors degree. I actually know a very well qualified candidate and even rubs shoulders with the hiring team. He was told point blank, the reason we can't call you for an interview is because you took too long to get your masters degree.

I doubt you will find anyone that has gotten the interview as of recent that took over 5 years to get their degree. Unless they have something else like a masters degree.

 

In this particular thread he may, just may have more insight. However, having flown with some of his peers from Compass I stand by my comments and think he's of a know it all, especially as a newb. You assume that we did not slug it out at the regionals(commuters in my day), fly night freight, flight instruct, etc. Most of us got hired under concessionary contracts, some of us have been on strike, seen the good times, knew people on the flights on 9/11(while he was probably in junior high or high school), went through ch11 with threats of and in some cases a realistic chance of liquidation, exiting ch11, summer of BOB(to get some of the worst things from ch11 changed), experienced short lived upward movement (quickly stolen by the age 60 change), a merger and all that entails(sli, joint contract, complete change of procedures, policy etc), another downturn and now finally the good times again. So yes, I think many of us have better insight overall for a new hire than him.

 

So what you are implying is that you are normally dumb and by reading my material you get dumber?

I have a solution for you, stop reading my stuff, dummy.
