Am I smart enough for a Delta interview yet or should I just keep asking for a "wind check" during those calm sunny days?
I'm not sure about the hiring board, but I'VE certainly made a value judgement about you.

I think we're there.
I agree. Now is probably the time to start preparing for what is coming. The 401k's will be one of the first targets with a much higher withdrawal tax if you are deemed wealthy.

What's the typical wait time between the confirmation email and an interview invite? My friend received the confirmation email on the 17th of this month.

Also does anyone know if they look at all of your internal recommendations attached to your Airlineapps when they score it or does that only come up during the interview? I decided to only have one friend send the email, but still have all four internals attach their recs to Airlineapps.

According to AK at WAI, it averages 30-60 days from the date of scoring for an invite if you score high enough. Granted it seems that those with a military background have a much shorter wait based on what has been posted here.

I updated my application with some awards, ect., in addition to a non-internal rec. that just posted. Will this trigger my app to be 'rescored' again?

Thanks,

Probably not, but maybe......the best way is to have an internal rec.

Without a very accurate count of CJOs and class sizes (present and future), I don't think there is a good way to know the time frame with a high level of accuracy. Throw in a change to class sizes (which it sounds like just happened with classes going from 55 to 25 pilots) and a few deferrals and it gets even harder. When my group got job offers at the end of March we were told there was "little to no pool" and to expect first or second week of May. Personally, I am now anticipating mid-June as more accurate.
