- PRIA records from former employers (regional airlines' often suck at paperwork and there's no telling what they'll drop into a photocopier for Delta)
- National Driving Record
- Criminal Records
- Payroll Records (which contain your sick time)
- College transcripts (Grad & Undergrad)
- Flight Training Records
(retook the class and made an A the second time)

I felt like a total dork after my HR interview. I am a total dork, but I really felt like one after that. I choked on everything they asked me. I was flying at United at the time and one of the questions was: "Have you ever been interviewed and not hired by an airline?"
Dork: "no"
Interviewer: "So you haven't been interviewed by United yet?"
Dork: "I am working at United."
Interviewer: "So when can you start DAL class?"
Dork: "Tomorrow."
Short story long, dont let it bug you how the dice roll. I did not enjoy feeling like a total Dork.
Dork: "no"
Interviewer: "So you haven't been interviewed by United yet?"
Dork: "I am working at United."
Interviewer: "So when can you start DAL class?"
Dork: "Tomorrow."

Carl, I have a friend who works for Boeing in their marketing division. We can get any Boeings we want on 24 months notice. Some in even less time.
We still have a big bunch of 777 delivery positions. Many of the current positions customers have will never be realized and come available. They restructure delivery slots all the time for better customers. In fact most of the contracts allow Boeing to slide the deliver time frame. Want to make 100 737's available in 18 months. Simply slide other deliveries 2 months and you create a huge surplus.
This exact same discussion went around in the late nineties when pilots were saying we were locked out of the market because Boeing and Airbus were sold out. Next thing you know we were getting all kinds of different aircraft brand new. We will get what we want when we want.
When it comes to aircraft purchase Delta is a 800 lb gorilla. Airbus, Boeing and others are making huge efforts as we speak to be the choice of Delta in its recent request for bids for deliveries starting in 2013.
They are not sitting home saying were sold out can't help you!

Thanks for the info.
No new orders could also be a part of the psychological warfare prep for our contract negotiations.
