Do you have overall 'total' hired since interviews started?

Did you work with any of them?

Delta has hired 85% of the SSP interviewees so far. Attendance records seem to be the deciding factor.

Let me correct my above statement. I did prep one of the guys that interviewed today.

He just called me about his experience. 5 Endeavor guys (SSP), 1 AF fighter pilot, 1 ExpressJet and 1 SkyWest. Everybody passed except 3 Endeavor guys.

I have no idea of the total number of pilots hired. My guess is around 70 percent so far. 8 pilots per day x 4 days of interviews = 32 pilots per week interviewed. 32 pilots x 3 weeks of interviews = 96 total pilots. 96 pilots x .7 = 67 pilots hired so far.

Rough guess based on what I have seen but in no way accurate.

Two from Kalita, one from Atlas, one AF1, and one Marine 1.

The 3 who didn't make it were single seat, center line thrust guys, who didn't know what a V1 cut was...

Scoop

Sometimes true...sometimes not. Atlas is a great group of folks and everyone treats each other really well. Sometimes your line/pattern sticks...sometimes it doesn't. You learn to accept it. It comes down to this - do you like being away for two weeks at a time. Some folks love it because they get 15 days off at home. Those with (young) families there tend not to like those longer lines.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

. Guess I slipped through....

Wonder if the SSP guys did prep or felt they were already in?

The guys I know in the SSP are doing at least some type of interview prep course... Definitely not a "we are already in" attitude. Then again the most infamous pinnacle Le Douche -AR, has not interviewed yet (80 knots I'm sure is licking his chops for this fat boy

)
