All I know is that the other CHQ guy that interviewed with me has not been called yet. I told him they will take the better looking ones first..:D. There is still time to get called I guess and nobody has said the class is full yet. Kinda strange if there is only 5 guys combined on these two sites that has been called...

Any one get an email from Adrian yet? I was wondering what the schedule will be after the two weeks of indoc.

Razor-
not me yet...I was hoping when you other loonies got called I'd get called too, who knows? I got the cleared to train right when you guys did. if you guys have a connection in there, put in a good word for me... Looks like it's another month.

If the 19th (two weeks) comes and goes and you have not heard anything, just give Mr.B a call.

How long should one wait to call Mr. B after the "ok to train" and you have not heard of anything about a class date? For me it has been about two weeks.

I was wondering the same thing. I got the cleared to train email early last week (with no stops in the looney bin ;)) and was also wondering if anyone knew if the Dec class was full?? I would also guess that the following class would be 7 Jan?? It's starting to get close to 3 Dec w/o word, hmmmm??? How long did it take for folks not in the looney bin to get the call from Mr. B?

Thx...Philly

Rumor has it Mr. B is a one man show. He fills the classes and then teaches the majority of them, especially in the first week. So it's reasonable that he has had ZERO time in the last week to make phone calls to the (rest of the?) Dec 3 guys. For example, a buddy in the 29 Oct class mentioned that Mr. B is still trying to get HR to load the guys in that class including family members, into the dlnet database (among others) so that they can start applying for travel and medical benefits. Of course, it's also possible that most of the Dec 3 guys aren't forum readers and his work is done for the year.

How about a poll: any recent hires at DAL get the phone call to start training with less than 2 weeks notice?

Typically the calls go out three to four weeks before indoc class date to provide time for the traditional "two week notice" at your current job.

Mr. B is almost a one man show and as a result he makes many of his calls on the weekends in between classes. He has also been spotted working to set up the classes and ensure everything is ready for them during his off hours. Mr. B is a real Delta patriot who cares and puts in extra hours ensuring things go smoothly for the new hires.

The classes are mixed amongst different backgrounds to provide balance.

We know it is a tough wait, but there are at least 700 behind you. As I understand it we have the balance of 15-757's coming from TWA/AA, up to 20 737-700's, 9 MD90's and g-u-l-p something like 18 more 777's and these numbers are from the conservative guy.

A person hired now would be a junior lineholder on the 88 by next year and fairly senior on the 88 in NY.

Sorry to hear that tripled. Maybe there were enough loonies in the Dec class already and they feel the need to spread us out a bit :eek:

Or maybe you get the call tomorrow? Hang in there, it will come soon.

I was there for a 7 Nov interview and spoke with Mr. B in person. I am 99% certain he said that the Dec class was full.

We were told to expect 7 Jan and 21 Jan class dates with 35 pilots each.
