The competitive minimums are lower for females right now. I've heard this from more than one source. The women interviewing are more than qualified for the job, but they are less qualified than the men currently interviewing. It is what it is.

I wouldn't go that extreme. The above post says a female interviewed with just over 4,000 hours and no PIC time. A few years ago when everyone was hiring, males were getting interviewed with those exact same qualifications.

Didn't they do this the last time they stopped hiring in 08? Not too cool to get guys spooled up with an interview then call them and tell them to study for another year. Hopefully it's just due to alot of bypassers calling up and wanting in this last week. If anything is going on, my bet is that it has to do with the Compass/Mesaba fiasco. I think they just had another super secret MEC meeting on the issue so maybe they are gonna fill up this year with bypassers and flow-ups.
In any case, next year is only 5 months away so maybe they'll start interviewing again in Jan for the summer 2011 schedule which is when they need to hire to have guys in place for the summer.

Nwapoolie,
yes, it sucks we didn't get called. The fact is we were offered a job by NWA and NWA is no longer calling the shots. Delta doesn't owe us anything and the email we got from NWA said if we want to work there we need to apply to delta. Your posts come across pretty bad and that won't do anything other than **** off some people that can guarantee you won't get a call.

For what it's worth, it sounds like you're taking a bad situation in stride with a good attitude. Not that it will do you any good, but I hope that you get a phone call soon. Hang in there, I'm always happy to buy the rounds for new hires.

BM,
I got that same email in April 08. I didn't initially get an invite when the first round of emails started going out in late June/early July of this year. I got the invite though on July 5, a day after my application was updated with an internal LOR via AirlineApps. Not sure if that tripped the invite or if it was coincidence. FWIW, after much thought I ended up declining the interview given my current employment status.
Hope this helps.
