That is never constant across the applicants. It all depends on how well you score and fit into the tiered system they use. Tier 1s get called first. Rumor is they only call applicants from that tier.

Thanks. Mine was put in a little over a month ago. Just wondering. My GPA is a little low but I am a check airman. Who knows.

I've found 10-14 weeks to be a very common timeframe. Not ironclad, but very common.

About the time you give up hope and quit studying for the testing. Ha. Good luck!

Six weeks to the day between hiring board email and interview invite.

Would you still get a fix it email even if you weren't tier 1?

No. IMO, no one is "Tier One" until they get the interview invitation.

Would Delta (or any airline) ever admit to interviewing/hiring anyone less than a "Tier 1" pilot?

How would that sound in an investigation? "Well, you see, the FO was a Tier Two guy, so that explains him sliding off the end of the runway." See what they did there?

The "tier" system is all games. Not sure what they're trying to achieve, but at DL, everything is intentional.

You're reading WAY too much into this. They already admit the "tiers" and also admit that there are many factors in them, like college GPA and charity/vol work etc. There is zero liability risk for "admitting" someone went off the end of the runway but was "tier two" because they got a D in college chemistry 20 years ago or never built a Habitat house.

That's as redonk as saying an airline is liable if they don't hire a pilot flying for one of their regionals. Non issue, and never will be one.
