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?
FWIW, had one buddy get the fix it for the exact same thing in July and he has heard crickets...and one buddy that just got it last week and hasn't heard anything back after fixing.

I received my fix-it email two years ago. Still waiting.

Don't disagree with that......
You are full of crap.

I'm up to 3 yrs after the fix it email. My app has been soaking since 2008. Welcome to the wait club. I have learned in the last year or so not to have anyone send the special email to delta unless your app is 100%!! If they grade it and something is not right, you either get a fix it email or you just won't make the points and then you just bought yourself another year minimum before it gets scored again. Make it count.

Did you send another, updated app recently?

I did just hear of one guy who's got an interview scheduled...in April!

This was last week, I don't know how long ago he sent in his app, but it sounds like they are running way behind in the interviewing scheduling.

Oh, BTW, I had sent Delta at least 6 apps before I got my interview, (one every 6 months) but that was before Al Gore invented the internet, I had to type out all 6 pages of each app, on an IBM Selectric, using white out for the fixes, in two feet of snow, up hill both ways!

Anyway, I get to the interview and the guy is asking me all these 'outdated' type questions like, "Well, what have you done since..."

I said, "Which application are you looking at?"

He had one of the earliest ones in his hand, about 3 years old! So I had to get him caught up on who/what/where I'd been flying for the past 3 years, (three different flying jobs) rendering my 5 most recent apps as wasted time!

Yes sir. I'm in the same boat...been doing this since the days of having to type out apps by hand and send them in. What a pain in the keester it is to get hired anywhere...unless you're a blonde/blue eyed ASAP producing weekly low-timer that volunteers somewhere...I need therapy...

So along those lines, my background includes 121 time and flight deck time running tests for Flight test (787-8,747-8,777,737). Is Delta looking for tech pilots? Are those opportunities available? Thanks in advance-

That's supposed to be the rule, but I had a buddy send one in last May and another buddy send one in this past November and then received an interview invite earlier this month.

Default Tier 1 or 2 being called?

Is anybody in the know on what Tier of applications they are calling for interviews currently?
