If you have issues, take it to Pro Stan, that is what they are there for. If the issue cannot be dealt with there it will escalate.

Why do you think DAL does all of this testing. PPL can be BSed but these types of tests generally cannot be.

That was very courteous for the e-mail update. It's nice to get a reality check and also hear that in the past some people have had to wait months. The bottom line is that we're excited to get started.

I'm glad they sent the email to you guys. I'm sure it's nerve racking waiting. The bottom line is that some background checks/paperwork takes longer for some then others. It could be your current employer or former employer dragging their feet on providing paperwork. I remember waiting for my background check to clear for my regional job. Apparently the state of IL took a long time to get my driving record to them.

Just remember that if its been 3 weeks and you haven't gotten the no thanks email yet you are probably in good shape.

Friends- I'm only talking about the types who aren't fun to fly with, who aren't personable with passengers or fellow employees. The ones who grab their bags and leave before the passengers have deplaned and don't say goodbye to even the crew because they can't see past their own immediate self interest. I'm happy for you if you don't encounter them often. When I do, I make an extra effort to interact with my fellow crewmembers and our passengers to ensure they're getting at least some recognition.

Luckily, I'm not finding lots of them, internet tough guy. Just a few. I find that invariably they flew vipers, feel the need to tell everyone they flew vipers, and have over 400 posts.

OK, lets thread shift back to Delta New Hires/Class Dates/Cleared to Train.

Got the call from BB today! I will be joining all of you on the 20th of September in ATL. I'm going to be writing my 2 week notice tomorrow and I can't wait. If your wondering I interviewed mid July. Questions for the new hires in class now (or anyone in the know):

What is the daily schedule like during indoc?

Does the company pay for a hotel during indoc? (If not what are some good options for cheap places to stay that don't require a car?)

Are there some items you wish you would have brought from home that would have helped with any aspect of initial training?

Thanks again for all the info APC

Well I don't know if you would call it the drop yet but I got an email about bidding eqip/ domiciles for September 6th (Which I am sure I won't see DAL property till December for the hold however)

MSP 320B 8
DTW 320B 12
ATL M88B 2
MSP M88B 15
NYC M88B 10
DTW DC9B 3
MEM DC9B 3
MSP DC9B 2

Like I said not sure if this means this will be the exact drop but it is what the flows for that class were told to bid on.

I think I'll be hoping for one of those MSP320's or DTW 320's not 100% yet though

C'mon man. You haven't lived until you've flown the Mad Dog.

Sweat stains ruining all your shirts in the summer.
A flight kit full of glycol in the winter.

Fifi can't offer that !!
