Heard in the lounge yesterday that they are planning on all returnees back in August, total of 300 by end of the year.

Also, planning on 60 a month indefinitely.

Anyone heard that last part about the 60/mo ?

Just passin a rumor.. that's it.

Maybe that means "the ones who have put in letters to return" will all be put in the August classes.

Does anyone know how DAL is going to handle those who passed the panel interview but did not pass one of the computerized test in 08? I was advised by the 08 hiring staff that they bring you right back in after six month (if still hiring) for a preferential interview and to retake the tests. Any thoughts?

Full interview at a min. Not sure if that puts you to the stop of the stack or not. A call to the number on your letter may help.

Without doing it this way there is no way (I'm told) to input oneself as a former intern. Obviously he does not want to be perceived as "cute" or "tricking" the recruiters, hence my asking this question. Do you know whom I could contact to get the horse's mouth answer on his behalf as an active DAL pilot. A PM would be great :D Thanks!

If you are referring to the DAL Addendum section, you are correct. I did not intern at DAL but did at another carrier, I just put it in the normal app as well as put it down as a job under career advancement.

I do not know who you should call. My guess is they will read your post and then correct it! :eek: Who knows really. I just know that putting items that are not factually correct but "true" can lead to some questions. Is it the end of the world no, but the only things I every put in the DAL addendum related to DAL specifically at the time of the event.

Edit!!
I would call your CP and follow the chain of command up. Ask him/her a question and see where they direct you or what response you get. They know who to call and can call the Hiring Dept directly for a correct interpretation.

Got a buddy interviewing Weds. around 4000 hrs military. Good dude.

Heard similar in 2007.... that worked out a bit better...

Remember 2001 was after DL had been hiring like gangbusters for 5 years. We've had a 2 (and change) year break from hiring now. Big difference.

Does anyone have some links to the gouge for the tests?

I know there is some gouge in the Latest and Greatest .. but finding that information is a nightmare.
