Default Delta Interview Policy

For those in the know... Before the NW/DL merger, DL's policy was that if you interviewed and did not pass the interview portion, you could never interview again. Is this policy upheld in the post merger DL?

No guidance has been given on the redesigned process. Standby for a few more months. At that time, I expect they will outline the new policy etc.

That was what we were briefed during interviews in 2010 when I was hired, which was post-merger.

so does this mean if they did not select you that you were ineligible, or just if you failed a part of the interview? That seems kind of harsh to not allow someone to re-apply.

Wasn't it, if you failed the test you could reapply in 6 months...But if you failed the interview, you could never interview again?

The policy under previous hiring windows was; Fail then interview portion and you could never apply again. Fail day one testing, reapply in six months. Fail the psyche, go to a board, and the decision was final.

That's not right.

You're just flying airplanes not the lunar lander.

What ACL has said is correct. Fail the HR and you are done for life. Fail the testing portion, you can try again in the future. Fail the shrink, it goes to a board review. They look at your application packet and make a determination.

During the interview, you have to convince three people (HR, Active Captain, Retired Captain) that you would be a good fit for Delta. If one person does not like you, your done. People have bad days when interviewing. I think they should give people a chance to re-apply after a year. There was some talk about getting rid of the medical portion. If all you need is a first class medical why waste the money at Concentra to get tested.

That's why there are multiple airlines to apply to ( when hiring ). When you feel strongly about a company policy you don't apply. Personally I find the ups uniforms ridiculous and would apply there as a last resort. I don't expect ups to change their uniforms to suit me.
