Default Delta Guaranteed App Review

Sent to me today by one of my friends who is a Delta gate agent. It's small potatoes, I know. But it's better than nothing, and I figured y'all would like to know.



"In the next decade, Delta expects to hire more than 8,000 pilots to staff the thousands of daily flights it operates around the world as other pilots approach mandatory retirement age. To assist with the hiring efforts, Delta has developed unique selection programs specifically targeted for Delta Connection pilots.


Beginning September 2018, Delta will offer a guaranteed application review to four of its Delta Connection carriers including Compass Airlines, GoJet Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, and Republic Airline. The program will guarantee a minimum number of applications from each carrier to be reviewed monthly for open Delta pilot position. Candidates with competitive applications to current Delta hiring standards will be eligible to be selected for an interview.


"Delta is committed to providing ample advancement opportunities to pilots who are already flying for our regional carriers", said Bill Lentsch, SVP- Delta Connection & Delta Global Services, and CEO- Endeavor Air. "Delta Connection pilots are a critical piece to Delta's success, and this is just another way we are investing in their development and aviation careers."


Additional details will be shared and distributed to eligible pilots by the Delta Connection carriers.



Additionally, Delta previously developed the Delta Guaranteed Interview Program (DGI) that is offered to its wholly owned regional carrier, Endeavor Air. The DGI program provides a guaranteed interview for pilots. Additional information about the DGI program can be on Endeavor's website.



These programs will supplement Delta's current recruiting structure, which includes recruiting and hiring pilots currently flying in the airline, military, and corporate sectors. Delta also recently announced the Delta Propel Pilot Career Path Program as another way to identify, select, and develop the next generation of pilots."

It's basically telling people that none of their pathway or flow programs is going to totally squeeze out OTS hires. Didn't suspect they would, but I'm sure it's reassuring to some people.

Actually, I think it means they want people to know there are other options than getting recommendations that will trigger the app review. Not everyone knows a Delta pilot well enough to get a rec.
