Ok, so if you have two applicants, one white male,a woman or minority with the same qualifications and no negative problems against them who do you think is getting hired, give me a break. This is more of a situation when the airlines are "extremely picky" when limited hiring is occuring like now. I mean does anyone else agree with me?

Whether it is true or not, what purpose does it serve to spread the rumor? All it does is discourage people from applying, or give them something besides themselves to blame for not getting hired.

To expand the point... I was discouraged from applying to NWA. In the late 90's I heard from many people that NWA didn't like fighter guys. I think that was one of the generally accepted rumors at the time. Also, I didn't know a single person that worked there. Turns out, NWA was the only call I got. Glad I didn't listen to the rumor.

I'll be amazed if there is ever a new hire class at Delta where white males are under-represented.

Correct. The truth is that white male applicants are not competing against any minority pilot but the thousands of other white male applicants.

Their asking you about sick calls is questionable at best. Sure they make you sign a waiver but legally it is questionable. The majority of pilots are professional and honest when it comes to that. Sometimes you just get sick a lot in one year. Unfortunately there are a few Dbags out there who abuse the system and ruin it for everyone else ( i.e waiting until the moment an occurance comes off the record than immediately calling in sick again). These are the same dbags that never have any available sick time when they are really sick so they get everyone else sick because they are selfish pricks. IMO they shouldn't be allowed to ask about it at all.

In my opinion it's fair for Delta to see the number of occurrences and the dates.

Speakman doesn't 85% of the interview looking at my logbook to see if I worked, missed, or could bid off holidays. He could tell when I worked, or was obviously senior enough to bid off holidays. I didn't really care and I had my official company attendance record with me, when they ask how myattendance was at work. They ddidn't even want to see it.

I'll probably have a better chance getting an interview with a chip, since that is what I encounter most of the time from DL pilots. Either way, no interest working at DL.

And what I mentioned in my earlier post about the hiring selection isn't too far from the truth.

I love a good ol' Delta hiring thread. Can't get very far without the woe-is-me white privelige BS. Unendingly hilarious.

Even when presented with facts to the contrary, you hold onto your belief due to some emotional need. I'm not particularly surprised given your attitude, but it is sad seeing someone choose misery and contempt.

Says the poster (or poser) :rolleyes: who keeps posting on a DL thread?:D
