Stay at Durry Inn. Bring ear plugs so you don't stay up all night listening to jets depart every 10 seconds. Take 7:00 bus to Delta building. Go to the security gate and get a badge. Waite in the lobby. Be social and confident.
There were only 3 people in my interview group. We all had over 1600 hours. The other 2 guys had turbine time. They were interviewing like 6 per day, until they raised the minimums. Obviously, the pool has shrunk.
Short presentation.
3 computer tests. 16 section Cognitive, 300 question Personality, and 60 question delta aeronautical knowledge test.
one page of HR type questions you have to write responses to.
one page written paragraph.
lunch
Interview: Mostly instrument procedures.
Then they drive the group to the delta building for fingerprinting and dating forms.
Then drive to pee test. Then back to hotel, done by beer-thirty.
No written knowledge test. (just the computer test)
No Sim.
No HR interview. (just the written questions)
The delta test wasn't too hard, but harder than an FAA test. It was broadly reaching in subject area, holding, weather, systems, light gun, runway marking, hand signals, turbine stuff, regular and transonic aerodynamics, etc. I think I probably made an 80 on it. I think I would have been able to make a 60 to 65 without studying. I studied all the regular stuff, aim, etc, and the turbine pilots flight manual, since I had no turbine time.
