Not true. Had a guy in my group get the CJO, got flagged the next day by the psych, then did not make it past the PARB. F16 guy... Seemed like a good person.

Ditto not true.

Ex-mil, regional 121 Capt... Multiple letters of rec, including internal for the review board. Got the no thanks... Great pilot and person too. Delta messed up on than one.

Hi all,

I've got a question maybe someone can help answer, which might make someone more competitive? 121regional/135 turbine PIC time, or heavy jet intl. FO experience?

Definitely 121 time for Delta. Delta doesn't understand 135 operations (heard from the chief himself). I don't think it matters so much at other operators.

Maybe y'all can help me out on this one. I have had a Delta app soaking for quite a few months. I had an internal push for me and they reviewed my app but I'd forgotten to put my high school info in (rog, I know, attention to detail...). Anyhow, Delta sent me a "fix it" email last weekend and I immediately fixed the glitch. Since then, I've heard crickets.

My question is: if they send you a fix it email for something like that, is it likely you'll get any follow up contact or are you usually written off?

Nah. They understand. I can count at least 5 from my (rather large) 135 without any 121 time that were hired at Delta. Somebody in an above post mentioned the "whole package." That seems to be the airline game now. TPIC seems to be on the back burner. Being the head of a WAI Chapter in a city seems to weigh heavier.
