good stuff. I’m going on two months with no link response from them. I’m curious if applying with a different email account works with Delta?

Anyone know which aircraft has the quickest or longest training footprint? Are any of them backed up?

Congrats and welcome!

My only advice for this question would be to totally and completely disregard any and all answers to this question (including this one LOL).

It varies massively and rapidly, sometimes even for the same plane in the same class. I know a new hire who just got 320 and he got one week til training after indoc while all his classmates got nearly a month.

If your reason for asking is just baseline curiosity, then the answer doesn't really matter and is just chaff. If, OTOH, you're aiming to use that informaiton to base bidding decisions on, I'd say its better to completey remove that from your decision making process. You don't want to bid something because you think you'll get sooner or later training footprints only to be on your second or third choice with the opposite training footprint from what you expected.

Bid what you want and want what you bid.

How critical is it to have internal recommendations?

I think that’s an unknowable question unless someone on here is part of the retired Captain crew that reviews applications. I would say it can’t hurt if you have one as a factual statement.

Spoke to a DL pilot recruiter at TPNx. I was told that a checkride bust within the last two years *might* be a shower stopper. Anyone find this to be true? He wasn’t entirely sure if that was a hard requirement or not, but told me that might be the case.

Thanks!

I don't know for certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. There was a time when a checkride bust ever in your career was a show stopper. Supply and demand.

I know of a current DL pilot that failed his ATP (ground eval), passes it a few weeks later…and was sitting in Indoc 12 months later.

Thank you for the data point, guys
