Delta Guaranteed Interview (DGI)
Has anyone gone through or heard stories from friends about the DGI? I have a bachelors degree, but my GPA wasn’t good, so the DGI is a plus for me. I was wondering if it actually made a difference in being able to get hired a Delta, or if they would politely interview an endeavor pilot because they are required to, and then decline based on a factor like a low GPA, or whatever else might not fit their preferred hiring criteria. Any stories or experiences welcome, thanks!

The first DGI interviews start in December.
Regarding GPA Delta has hired people off the street with less than a 2.5. They have hired people with DUIs and checkride failures as well. You just gotta own up to it and show how you improved since.

Delta doesn’t care that you came from the wholly owned, as a matter of fact they have an interest in you not leaving 9E so you can keep making the mothership more money. The only advantage you have is you already know how DL does things and it will help you in training.
The interview is identical to off the streets - your just guaranteed one eventually through DGI if your fully qualified.
