Basically if your a white male with less than 5 LOR's it will be a loooong time before getting the call, it's just the way it is. I worked on the ramp and operations for 5 years at Delta and still couldn't get a call for interview when they were hiring. I had very limited sick days and no problems while working there.

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.

I know the company I worked at would not provide any more information than the required PRIA reports. Anything else opens them up to being sued.

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..

Delta will always have a list a mile long of qualified guys who want to work there.

Don't buy into the "I won't get hired because I'm a white male" crap. The guys spreading that stuff around are typically guys that know they are unlikely to be hired for some other reason and looking to blame it on anything but themselves. Get your stuff together and apply and keep networking.

Of course, getting furloughed with 290 hours and 8 days short of a year helped. My first day back I was told, "Keep your mouth shut for 8 days, then you can unload."
