That was how I read it, but given the fact that many ppl in the "know" have stated otherwise, I qualified my words.

Dear Lord please tell me that isn't as true as i sadly believe it is, nevermind actually...

Its just funny how many people can think the world revolves not only around them but that the world knows what they want and is trying to get it done before they ask. :rolleyes:

Busting training as a new hire seems to me to be uncommon, but it happened to one in our class who I'd say had a stellar attitude and lets say, came from a good background. They just didn't pass their checkrides. Also, I think one was removed in the class prior to me per their background check. So its not out of the realm, come in with a high horse and I'm sure you'll be a target. I know they track problems during training so just because you have a different instructor every morning at 5am doesn't mean that guy is not in the loop.

As to firing pilots while on a flow, if you're Delta and flow down to CPZ and then are fired, are you automatically fired at Delta as well? Is that in the LOA, if so I'll go find it and read it.

Go read it FtB! Report back with some picture of a poor pilot in a prison! :D

acl65pilot 06-23-2010 04:49 PM

FtB;
That are just the ones that I have heard. I cannot believe someone would not do a walk around, but yep, true. Not commuting in for your SC requirement, yep true.

Delta is a very hard airline to get fired from. A good attitude will go a long way and the company will bend over backwards to help. A bad attitude or a willfull disregard of the rules however is something they hate to see. Delta is like a elephant. They have a very long memory.

Super;

With my dentist mirror held up to the computer screen just right, I see nipple. Well played.

I hope everyone gets hired. Numbers I've heard are roughly equivalent to some big regionals. Good luck to all. I'm gonna have to buy a lot of new guys a cerveza, but I'm good for it.

Don't be a weenie, be yourself and you should do fine in the interview. No excuses on the general aviation knowledge stuff.

Scambo, we are too look past that little observation. We would not want it to be deemed inappropriate!

I agree, do not be a weenie during the interview, in class, or on the line. I love this place, and the pilots we fly with are awesome. I do not get some of the stories, but that is just me. Sometimes I think that people go out of their way to make life difficult.

You are on the 777, I do not see you buying beer for any new hire! (unless you knows something I do not know)

Would DAL have to take the "undesirables" in the flow thru? I would think there is language/policy somewhere to prevent this.

Razorback flyer 06-23-2010 06:25 PM

Per JG this morning, all flowups will serve a standard Delta probationary period.

acl65pilot 06-23-2010 06:26 PM

That is how I read the LOA's in regard to flows.

They have to take anyone who meets the criteria. Plain and simple.
