Lately it has been about 7-9 weeks from invite to interview. I was lucky, I called a few days after I originally scheduled and they had an earlier date available. I ended up being about 4 weeks from invite to interview.

I guess 35 showed up for the drop. That makes maybe five no shows (all APC members?) if the class size was supposed to be 40.

Is United really that much better of a company to join?

It depends on what you are looking for. It is also a moving target as to what's "best". Some guy on here had a DAL interview but elected to stay at LUV. He would be a captain here in less than 2 years, and will throw gear there for many many more. But he will drive to work. Decisions, decisions.

I believe so. Of the three guys I've wrote recs for that had a job offer at both (in the last 18 months), all three went to United. A fourth guy chose AAL.

Delta is not the first choice and quickly turning into a stepping stone.

Not much of a decision.

He'd only be a captain at DL in two years if willing to coverage three airports on reserve indefinitely.

Meanwhile the SWA F/O who lives in base is making the same at W-2 time with 5 more days off each month and don't even try to compare vacation months.

This comparison is the truth.

It's not necessarily no-shows, but the number of individuals who tell Delta thanks, but now thanks after they get the CJO, and the number of new hires that leave within 6 months of starting Indoc.

When Flight Ops only mentions Indoc no shows....that's only part of the equation.
