Do they contact your current airline and ask them or do they just ask the applicant?

How is it even legal for them to ask, or more importantly, how can your previous carriers divulge sick time reports? Isn't that a huge invasion of privacy?

I was interview by the man that never called in sick and just recently retired. I asked what they were looking for, and he said that.

Does anyone really believe he was never sick in 45 years? How many FOs did he get sick?

It's legal because they make you sign a waiver. I agree though, it should be illegal

I don't think they understand exactly how much I hate my current job.

I only call in sick when i really need it.. What else do they make you sign?? The only information that is legal for them is the information under PRIA. (I am not sure if the affordable care act will change anything..) I bet year one on probation is pretty intense..If I don't get accepted into the mighty Delta because I had a cold then I guess it is not the place I want to be.. With that being said, DAL looks like a great opportunity after all the flows have gone..

Us I guess.. However with the numbers they are going to need, I wonder if they will rethink their policy on one chance to interview. Not a second chance...maybe they have already changed that.

I love how everyone gets excited about this 300 new hires at DL. If you're not a furloughee, Compass or PNCL, then it's gonna be a while. After all that, it's gonna be all the "daddy works ar Delta", Family/Friends, former Interns, squadron buddies, Minorities, High internal recs.

So, maybe late 2015/2016 for the average joe pilot if lucky.
