I Interviewed early Jan and received the CJO. After calling Cisive two weeks ago I was told that my background check was complete and notice was sent to DL. A few days after that phone call I received the "PRIA/PRD Background check is complete, you're one step closer to becoming a Delta pilot" email. I still have not heard from DL or been offered a class date. Is this a normal amount of time to wait? Should I try to contact someone? How long is the typical wait for a class date? I know of others who have accepted CJO's after me and have started class already. No military background, currently a regional CA if that matters. Thank you for the input

From reading on here a lot of people get the interview invite a business day or two after the assessment is completed. I finished my assessment on after prepping for 4 days on Friday afternoon, and they most likely were off today for President’s Day, so like you I’m just waiting and hoping to get the interview invite. Also from reading on here it’s about a week to get the TBNT email which means try again in 6 months.

An example of how bad I did on the cog/reaction tests: I thought I was still doing the pre-test practice (badly) on one of them when I discovered I was half-way through the real deal, which didn't go much better.
The BRG/RMI and ATC parts seem applicable, but the rest are "do the best you can" but don't sweat it, as far as I can tell.

If you are shooting a localizer to mins with a failed engine and go 15 knots too fast before landing safely in real life you’d be getting pats on the back from everyone. Seems like a bogus reason to fail a checkride. Maybe a “yeah just watch your speed a little more on final” debrief. But what others said it won’t be an issue.
It wasn’t single engine, if it was I think the examiner would have been a little more lenient. But like I said it’s my bad for trying to coach when that should have been done on the ground. However a few other check airmen thought it was a bit too harsh too. Oh well, won’t let it get me down!

The first thing you’ll do in the panel interview is go over your record. They’ll ask if it’s accurate and all that. I’d stop right then and say, no unfortunately I recently made a mistake in training I need to share with you that’s not on my record yet.
Failing one ride is not failing a whole training program. Especially when you’re prepping for the interview, etc. That’s your lesson learned. Just make sure you own it and don’t try to pass it off as, well I’ve got too much going on or the examiner was a jerk, etc.

Interview Invite Email
I passed the assessment and received the interview invite email last week. It says to contact them within 7 days to schedule interview. I’ve made multiple attempts (calls and voicemails) each week day to contact the pilot selection team to schedule the interview. Still haven’t gotten through and have not heard back and it’s day 7. I emailed them as well with no response back yet. I’m sure they are very busy with all the hiring but the voicemail says they will contact you back within 24 hours. Is anyone else having this issue? How long did it take for them to contact you back to schedule the interview?
