does anyone have the drop for next week's May 4th class yet? It should have been emailed out this past monday. Thanks

 

Yesterday's interview group, 12/16 hired. 2 military, 2 civilians did not get hired.

 

How many mil vs civ interviewed?

 

Drop for May 4 on the Poolie thread.

Surprisingly, no 73Ns. The pipeline must be pretty backed up.

 

Hey, so, i'm getting some activity....

App submitted Feb.1
Internal rec submitted Feb 8
Second re Mar 1
Third external rec Apr 15

Today I get two fix-it emails...

Somewhere I have a gap after HS in my employment that I forgot to explain and I forgot to include a GPA from the first college I attended from which I transferred...

But I'm at a loss for this one:

"...A review of your application has revealed an inconsistency between your employment history and the aircraft flown and/or flight hours logged. This must be corrected before your application can receive further consideration..."

Easy enough...

Stay tuned....

 

Delta uses analytics in just about everything they do including pilot hiring. They have data on the people who excel in training, the people who struggle, the people who fail, the people who move to management/training positions, etc. When a pattern emerges, the hiring process is adjusted to isolate individuals one way or the other. If 28 year old FOS with a 4.0 are getting hired before people with seven years of PIC there is a reason for it (I have no idea if that's the case, FWIW).

I'm guessing a lot of regional captains are being interviewed by Delta right now. There are simply a lot of regional captains. How do you differentiate one from the other? I was very fortunate to end up at Delta; it was basically good timing. That said, if I were on the outside looking in I'd be applying to every job opportunity at my current company and I'd look up Delta's charitable interests and figure out how to volunteer for every single one. I'd also volunteer for a non-political ALPA committee. Those are easy things that make you stand out.

 

Question about the airline app process. If I stopped updating it for a period of 6 months will it go active again once I start updating it regularly again? Also if I have delta removed from my targeted airlines then add it again will that make the application active again.

Just want to make sure my stuff is in the pot that has a chance of getting pulled. Now that I upgraded the desire to move on is pretty high and want to give myself a chance of getting an interview.

Have an internal recommendation also. Would it be out of line to have em email the recruitment team to ask that question?

Thanks for reading.

 

I had a similar fix it email. Do you have a work entry for every type of aircraft you have hours listed for? I made the mistake of thinking they only wanted 10 years of work history, so it didn't match until I listed my entire work history.

 

Hey Galaxy, yep, I made the same rookie-mistake and didn't go back to all my work-history from HS. So, that'll take care of the gaps-email....

I'll have to research the flight log email....

ULTRARUNNER,
Just a shot in the dark because I've certainly not yet cracked the code on getting an interview; but.... Maybe double check all your hours in types, category, etc and make sure you didn't fat-finger an extra digit somewhere. Another thought...you may want to double check all your dates to make sure the years are correct. Is it possible you accidentally have overlapping dates in different types? You have probably thought of this stuff; but, I thought I'd try to help.
