I think CA Arnie was so friendly was because DALPA and their pilot group is ****ed their mgmt and 9E ALPA brokered a back door interview agreement. I can't wait till our guys get a chance to interview, they are going to get your hopes up and send you packing right back to 9E. They will fly down our list and MAYBE hire 10% of it. They'll get their rocks off for wasting your time and getting you excited about the possibility of being at DL, but at the end of the day, they really had no intentions of bringing you on board. Just my optmistic opinion

If one wishes to join the ranks of Delta, then work hard, study hard, and for heaven sakes, fill out an application. Otherwise may I suggest Virgin America...I think they may be hiring.
