Three more buddies in past 2 weeks called for interviews. Loving this hiring pace.

Timeframe seems to be about 60 days after sending the note to the hiring desk. Only pilot who hasn't heard in that time might be slightly low on hours compared to others, but he just started with a regional. A few hundred hours and we'll get another DAL pilot to ping the desk on his behalf and I think he'll get the nod.

For the record, the low end of the scale I've seen for flight time for MIL buddies who have been called is ~2.5Khrs TT, ~1K PIC/IP. All have degrees, most have masters.

I started on 6 October. Since then my seniority number has decreased by 107. In addition about 300 people have been hired after me. I hope it keeps up, very exciting time to be here.

Delta has pretty much reached the point of if you have a pulse you're hired. This is based on my info from bros with less than 2k hrs (fighter) and less than 3k (heavies) that are being hired.

IDK about that, just this week there was a 9 of 16 hired. I know you didn't intend it that way, but your post gives a kick in the junk to those who weren't hired.

Sorry, but any mil guy I know that has been interviewing is getting hired. A year ago it was all the commanders and Thunderbird dudes, now everyone I know is getting hired who interviews.

WARich,

Love your thread, live here.......but - 5,088 TT, 3,725 PIC, 2,500 IP, Heavy and still waiting. Proper MIL checks in the block, typed, clean record and as of this posting .... a pulse.

NO DAL call since Feb14. I believe there are still lots of qualified fish in the ocean. .... or I am caught in a net.

Yeah I'm also gonna have to disagree with the pulse comment. Was at recurrent early this week and the sim guys had nothing but good things to say about the quality of guys coming through.
