ULTRARUNNER,
Glad to hear you got it fixed. I hope you get the call soon. I had a few errors in my stuff after I was "absolutely certain" it was 100% accurate. It took a buddy giving it a second look to find a few things I missed. It is easy to miss stuff on airlineapps.
Good luck!

I met plenty of sim instructors that lived on North side and made the drive work. Didn't sound too fun to me. Woodstock looked nice and I think the drive is ok (for North side), though the braves are building a stadium up that way.

Good luck
Thanks Sputnik, I'll take a look at that thread...

So far, it seems that "the key" is volunteerism.
For the non-Mother Teresa types out there, a ray of hope. I actually do some volunteering, but I didn't any on my Delta app--as others have said it's not obvious where to put it and it didn't occur to me it mattered.

Helpful, sure. Important, maybe. "Key?"....not seeing it.

The Braves stadium is in southwest Cobb county. Woodstock is in central Cherokee county, about 15 or so miles away.

The Derg is a Delta Captain that runs his own website "mentoring" his "boys" who are mostly CFIs and regional pilots.

He entices them with photos of him when he was an ER f/o of the exotic layovers and lavish crew meals. The "boys" fall at the Derg's knees wanting to be the first in line to kiss his ring in hopes that he'll bless them with a rec to DAL. Pretty creepy actually.

Thanks Jiggs..yep, it took both myself and my wife to figure out the discrep w/ the aircraft stuff....

The others were easy.

I'm making the assumption all is good by the absence of any additional 'fix-it' emails....

Standing by :-)

Another non-Mother Teresa type here. I had a similar experience with my "volunteerism" as well. I didn't think to put anything on the app since what I do is very sporadic and more along the lines of helping friends with their causes (some financial and technical expertise for a friend's non-profit, speaking to high school classes and at career days for teacher friends, etc). They asked about it in the interview and that's basically what I told them. FWIW, and this is purely my perception, they seemed to like the "solid guy ready to help a friend or the community in any small way he can" vs. "I build houses in Africa on my days off to hopefully get some attention for an interview" angle.

You've got one of the worst man crushes I've seen in a while. Want me to talk to Derg for you to see if he's interested?
