Delta Hiring News
#9011
Didn't get the butthurt vibe from previous post, but did think it was weird FLY6584 who supposedly made his decision awhile back, was still seeking some type of validation via very dubious and ambiguous post about Delta.. Kind of like your weird obsession with Endeavor years after you left.. Seriously, you've made your decision (weather it was right or wrong) move on...

First part is old news that's no longer the case. swamp too has a hard time to let it go. And no clue what Delta validation he's implying. Apparently turning down a DL interview is a huge deal.

First post with a couple application questions from a soon to be retired military guy:
1. Is the "available for employment" date on airline app.com the first date they'd look to interview you, or when you're available for training? I'm available to interview any time, but couldn't go to training for quite a while yet.
2. Any chance they'd bother to look at you almost a year out from that available date?
3. Volunteer work. Are they looking for work experience here, or that you are out helping in the community? Like packing containers at the food bank and coaching a kid soccer team type stuff? I'm not sure if little stuff like that is worth mentioning on an application.
I'm cranking away at the Emerald Coast Interview prep, and getting up to speed on all the practical test knowledge. Anything else I should be looking at specifically?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

The only flak he got for it from me was the cavalier manner in which he claimed he didn't know if he wanted it or not until the last second and minor family things pushed him over the edge, etc. Dropping a kid off for his first day of school LOL yeah ok, that even enters the equation for a multimillion dollar career choice either way.

2. Who knows? What do you have to lose by trying?
3. I'd mention whatever you can. No one really knows what actually matters. That's a great question for EC.

I just didn't see a point in going on the interview and missing my sons first day of school if I was positive I did not want the job. Fortunately my decision has paid off thus far and I am extremely glad I made the decision I made. That could certainly change though. It could change tomorrow. It could change 10 years from now. All we can do is make a decision based on what we know today and hope for the best. I'm just happy so many of us have this decision to make today. It's a great time to be an airline pilot.

Actually my sons first day of school played ZERO part in my decision as I explained earlier. Once I was 100% sure I would not take the job I still had friends encouraging me to still go on the interview. I mean I understand that, Southwest could all of a sudden announce a merger with JetBlue or Spirit so it doesn't hurt to leave your options open until the very last second when you have to decide yes or no. So I get that.
