Got the thanks but no thanks email later the same afternoon as I took the test. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be.

Yes.... I know of a few underage alcohol possessions of different people. In their 40's now for the math, but always take responsibility, no exuses and be able to smartly say how/what was learned. All these people had high level connections though, that may or may not have helped.

Some were hired, some not, but all were interviewed. I highly doubt it had any effect in them getting or not getting the job. When they call someone for an interview, they already know all of this from the app.... and they want to hire the people they call.


Good luck!

Does anyone know if there have been emails/calls that have gone out to anyone that does NOT have a bachelor degree?

This is not so far from reality. Everyone has a shot right now. Keep updating, the "magic" recipe is a secret

Well, my 4 internal recs, 11K TT, 6K turbine PIC, check airman, Boy Scout, veteran, yet only a 2 year degree doesn't seem to know the magic formula.

I thought I'd ask. Who knows what is preventing me from receiving the email or a call. I've got former coworkers that have half the flight time, little to no turbine PIC, and yet they get the email/call and the job.

It's all very confusing.

Fear not Brasilia, Delta is gonna be hiring big time as well. You'll get in somewhere. Don't give up. It took me until my mid 40s to make it this far.

For those who've received the call. What time of the day do they call?

Did the former co-workers have four year degrees? If so, there's your answer. If not, keep persisting.

I hate to say it, but in the initial phase of the hiring cycle companies can select from candidates that have every single box checked. Even the ones that are not a requirement but are simply a preference.
