What a joke the shrink and PARB are. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone responded to that email telling the Delta pilot selection team to nicely go **** themselves.

Clearly the system they’ve concocted doesn’t work if they’re calling people back after saying they can never work for Delta for the rest of their lives.

…or they are getting more desperate. The writing has been on the wall for a while. No college, no meaningful PIC, checkride failures. Don’t even have to interview if you’re a flow. The Delta sacred cows are gone. Simple supply and demand has, no matter how you want to say it, lowered our hiring standards.

3 mil friends met the PARB, only 1 made it through. YMMV.

I interviewed yesterday and got the CJO, then the dreaded PARB email after my flight home landed. Marc from pilot hiring said that this was possible and that more than ninety percent of people move past it when we started paperwork after the CJO. I hope it holds true, the whole group was super nice as was everyone on campus for our interview and Delta has always been where I’ve dreamed of ending up.

Wind the clock and tell yourself this is the (hard) way to learn patience. The final decision willl come in due course and the odds are in your favor. In the meantime try to stay distracted with fitness, family, faith, etc. good luck!

Marc is absolutely correct. The vast, vast majority make it through the PARB just fine. The wait is excruciating, I’m sure, but in a few short weeks all will be well. Good luck!

Do these company psychiatrists have a good track record? Such that we should trust their judgement? Psychology does not exactly have a great record when it’s been put to the test. I worked with numerous ex-military guys who were new FOs at the regional who had lost the CJO in this way. Every one of them was a GREAT FO, cared about pax, FAs, was likeable etc. I thought to myself “What the hell are the Psych’s seeing?”

Actually, no. Barring people who are actively hallucinating at the time of the interview, psych evaluations have exceedingly poor reproducibility, far less validity.

I thought I read that one of the main Delta psychiatrists ended up committing suicide in the 90's?
