That kills me. I mean why accept the spot to no show? There are a ton of guys that could fill the spot if they decided to go elsewhere. At least show up and leave during training. Ok I'll quit griping and go back to swimming in the pool.

Use the airline folks in your training class as much as possible. Unless they're total a-holes, they'll be a great resource. If you know any other military types that have come across (which i'm sure you do) I'd ask them how they made the transition. I'd imagine the biggest difference will be getting the jet from the gate to the runway..after that it should be much more familiar. ......
Bummer, because for 24 yrs I really liked that second part.

At least one person in my hiring group had multiple offers. One guy had a much earlier training date with United than Delta was projecting. That could be a possible reason for a no-show.

FWIW, a good friend of mine who is former AF told me that the 2 major differences working for Delta are 1) there's no BS outside of the cockpit, ie, no paperwork queep/deskjob crap to worry about....you show up, you fly, pull up to the gate and say goodbye to the passengers and then grab your bag and go home, which sounds nice but..... 2) no real camaraderie. In an Air Force squadron (and I'm sure the same for Navy and Marine flying squadrons) you have camaraderie, a common mission, and you fly with the same guys over and over, etc. Almost none of that exists in a major airline. He said he's flown with a repeat/same Captain maybe a half dozen times in 15 yrs.
