Pilot Hiring:
26 interviews/week
12 hires/week currently, about 4 months from hire notification to class date 1st class has gone to 76T and A320
11,700 active applications
Average regional quals 6,000-8,000 TT, 5,000-6,000 PIC
Pilot retirements: 10 yrs - 4,000 pilots, 13 yrs - 6,000 pilots (50%)

Thanks for the update RVR, any idea why only 12 out of 26 are getting selected? Is it a yours to lose type deal or do they plan on only selecting a certain percentage regardless of the performances they get in their interviews?

The class size is 12 they are interviewing 26 a week. Those that are hired are put into a pool

I don't think your inference is necessarily correct. I think it likely is 12 starting class per week without relation to how many are being interviewed and subsequently offered jobs. So, in any given week they may offer jobs to no one or to all 26 or anywhere in between of those interviewed. Remember, they are just filling a pool from which to draw for many weeks to come.

Oh ok, I must've misread the post. I was curious what the acceptance rate was. It looks like Delta is having a pretty high success rate in this latest round of interviews.

Agreed. My sim interviewer basically said that unlike previous times when UAL hired (where dudes were competing for X slots that interview class), this time they're hiring whoever they feel meets their expectations.

This is true......UAL is worried about a pilot shortage of qualified guys in the near future. 11,000 apps on file and most of them are on file at AA and DAL as well. Get them while you can.

Anyone else here still patiently waiting for a phone call? Anyone else getting phone calls?

I am still patiently waiting and I believe 11K others and still waiting as well. :D

I've been reading about others getting job offers but no one has been saying they got the initial phone call in a while.
