Hi folks,

1st post!!!

So I interviewed at Delta at the end of last year and unfortunately did not get picked up the first go around, but was given the 6 month re-interview opportunity.

My 6 month anniversary is approaching soon when I can call to begin the reschedule process.

Does anyone know a "historical" timeline as to how Delta likes to fit us re-interview guys back into the mix? Do we get a 2 week notice or have to possibly wait another 4 months for an interview date after we make the call?

Hard question to answer as i'm sure it's pretty fluid situation with them as far as when interview dates pop up and are available, etc.....

I'm basically trying to get an idea of how to plan my study/prep again. Tough to study hard indefinitely with no concrete timeline as to when one can expect to be given an interview again.

Thanks folks!

Nothing against you personally and I hope you are successful, but I find it genuinely frustrating that people are getting second chances before so many qualified applicants can't even get a call. I have many, many friends that are totally qualified, have exquisite apps, attend the job fairs, network like crazy, etc and can't get the time of day, but people that couldn't cut it the first time are getting another chance.

I get the sentiment but everyone has a bad day or test every now and then, even possibly some of your qualified friends.

FWIW, I too am patiently waiting for Delta to call. Turbine PIC, high GPA and honors from a top tier university aviation program, community service, internal recs, job fairs, clean record, etc, etc.....

I've had an app in for 8+ years and still have yet to get the invite with DAL. DAL has interviewed some and given the CJO and we are scratching our heads wondering "they hired that person!" Then they turn down some that have been stellar candidates.

Some do deserve the second shot. I personally lose out through this since they would get to my number quicker, but some really amazing guys both civ/mil have lost out to factors beyond their control. A recruiter informed me that they can't take but so many DCI guys due to killing their feed. Just my two cents, but the second time around if they are really bad I'm sure that will be seen, but some deserved it the first time and I'm glad they get another shot.

You get invited to the first interview and score enough points for the second interview you are not holding back people that are being considered for their first interview. If you are out there trying to get the call I realize this can be frustrating but people going for their second interview earned the first one. They have been vetted by the process and that process belongs to Delta. Also none of this applies to the SSP candidates as they are in a different pool with a different set of circumstances.

I'm pretty sure that only the testing failures are offered a "second chance". I've heard that if you go through the testing but don't make the "interview" part successful, then it's curtains forever....
Some people don't have any insight into the testing, some are all over it.
Best of luck.

It used to be that way. Now it's six months, but I think you still have to score high enough on the testing if you failed the HR portion to be invited back.

false. you can fail any portion of the interview and still get invited back in 6 months. We had people in our group fail testing and people fail HR, they all got invited back

Delta just picked up this young lady from my company. Started
flying in 2010. Started! She averaged about 1 ASAP report per week with different captains. Waltzes right in and lands a job at Delta. No regionals. No dues paid. Nothing.

Lady. The only people in my class without TPIC were the girls. I know, I know.....there have been many guys hired with min time/quals. Just sayin'.

As far as the 2nd chance interview, if you get too low of a score on the HR you will not get a second shot. I know its frustrating for the guys waiting for the call. I have many friends that are waiting for their first shot.
