The first time I saw a Florida-Auburn game at Auburn, the UF cheerleaders wore blue garter thingy on one thigh. Although that was 13 years ago, I still remember.

Oh well #$@%@#%, you give your best answer to that interview question, you pat yourself on the back and look at all three interviewers and wink at each one individually, and then you come out and ask that other guy interviewing how he answered that question and he says ^^^^^ that. And now you feel like a freaking moron. Man I hate that feeling.

Which I'm not exaggerating. The question on you're Captain is drinking some beers and you're coming up on 8 hours. I had what I thought was a good answer, well rehearsed. I asked my good smart friend hired a few weeks later what he said and it was freaking brilliant. I quesitoned how I was even hired. I won't btw, say what he said, you've got to come up with your own answers to that standard question otherwise its not you answering.

I need to get that guy on the forums by the way, he reads but does not post, but he had an interesting medical story.

The lesson is patience and just be ready to run to the doctor asap to prove you don't have a problem and get that turned into them asap. As ACL told one poster, if you know in advance of an issue and OKC has signed off on it- bring proof with you and be done with it.

I didn't have an EKG problem and we're the same height... maybe you just require more blood flow than most more often then most, just like you told the "crew room" in CDG that one time when we were on the ER, and all througout our time in college.

More importantly FtB, a medical condition that is not on a waiver. Showing a waiver is easy, it is the stuff like color blindness that for some that does not have a waiver. Bring documentation.

That reminds me there is a color blindness test too.

Seems as though they aren't very good at reading EKG's.

I'm a runner, and they jacked up my EKG as well. Got the leads backwards at first, didn't hook it up right, asked me if I'd ever had a heart attack (I was 25 at the time!), then said I needed to go see a specialist.

The specialist took one look at my EKG and said "there's nothing wrong with this- it looks like the leads were placed slightly off but that just shifts the picture... this is perfectly normal."

Derp derp derp...

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 Thanks!
Ok, now you've got me second guessing myself. Under the affiliations section there is a drop down menu. Regarding interns, there are two choices. Intern (Delta Air Lines) and Intern (Other Airlines). When they mean other airlines, are they referring only to other Delta Connection carriers? Or if I interned at say UA, AA, etc. would I select other? I originally had my "other airline" intership listed, but removed it, because I don't want to trick the system.

I was an FO at ASA. No PIC time. Had all my app in by mid january 07 and started checking my email 10 times a day(I feel all your pain.)

By mid March I was really getting impatient. I went to the AIR INC. conference in LA, shook some hands and gave out my resume. Got the invitation to interview one week later.

Interviewed in April 07 and F'ed up the cog test. They said, seeeya in 6 months. By the next week I was in upgrade school.

Re-interviewed October 07 and passed all of it. I was told by the Doc that my EKG was weird. Had a cardiologist take a look and he said you have the same EKG as anyone who is 6'4. One week later got the OK to Train email. That was the end of October and I started class January 08


FWIW...I had a friend that was a legacy and had not gotten the email to interview. My other friends who were legacies had already been hired. He went to a Women in Aviation conference, shook hands and got the interview.
Are you ML?
