Anybody happen to know how internal Recs are working nowadays? Per the Delta Pilot Recruiting Facebook page the email system will not work anymore.
I have two friends ready to submit internals, so my guess is they put in the Rec via Airline apps and it gets pulled for score ? Or how would it work ? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

They initiate the internal rec from their end via AirlineApps. I cant remember where it was mentioned, but they recommended having the link sent to your Delta email. Click on the link, directs you to AirlineApps where you can write nice words and check a box that you are a Delta pilot. Supposedly that gets the guys app auto-scored, but it's all a bit of a mystery to me how it actually works.

Would that same system be used for recommendations from non-pilot employees (FAs for example) or do those go through the regular Airline Apps recommendations outside of the Delta addendum? Is there any benefit in additional recommendations from other Delta employees or should we just include the pilots?

Gate agent rumint - Chatting with gate agent this morning on my commute to work. She asks if I’ve been busy…I say yes…then she tells me a pilot she knows took the retirement package, but was recently recalled and is back working. Any chance that’s true?

No. Possible wide body pilot was on reserve not working and is now flying while waiting for early retirement date.

Which is why one should always take rumint stories with a huge degree of skepticism. People often have no idea what they are talking about.

Don’t disagree, but I recently ran into a LCA that bid off the 737 to WB this last big AE. Since we are short LCA, he will get bypassed and make WB pay for ~8 months while flying the 737. That’s straight from his mouth. The ‘project pilot’ loophole seems pretty wide.

Thats different then retiring and being recalled from retirement to be a trench coat wearing PRP.

The FAA must be really short and cannot sign off on new LCA now, or no one wants to be a LCA?
