They are not looking for flawless logbooks or anything else, they are looking for honesty, so just tell them the truth.

My entries for my flights looked like I was a college kid who didn't know how to fill out a logbook. I would hate to get a ton of questions on hours that don't mean much.
Thanks for any and all constructive help.

My civ logbook looks terrible. I brought it with my arms product and a nice spreadsheet explaining how I logged pic time and whatnot. They did not ask my about my flight time at all.

Anyone have a breakdown of the 737, Airbus, 717, and Maddog bases and how many (now and future)? Any idea which aircraft new hires are going into? Look back in previous threads and couldn't find the info. All I know is alot of new hires will get the 717 (DTW, ATL, and possible JFK). Is there openings for the other fleets?
Thanks

737=ATL, NYC, LAX, DTW, CVG, SLC
717 = ATL, DTW
320 = NYC, ATL, DTW, SLC, MSP
M88 = NYC, ATL, MSP, SLC, CVG

Returning furloughees are getting: ATL (717, M88), NYC (320, M88) and CVG M88.

They are free to bid out on the next AE, leaving these vacancies for true new hires, who incur a one-year freeze. Seniority goes by last four of SSN (higher the number = happier the pilot.)

Heard from a recent interviewee that Delta brought up some education history he had forgotten about and did not list on his app.

How would Delta know his educational history if it wasn't on the app/resume? Besides googling the name and seeing if something pops up.

I have no idea. I think the point is to be as honest and transparent as possible. Include everything, be open about discussing it, and don't be surprised if they question something you've forgotten about.

He was hired, BTW.

Recalled furlough bypass pilots were offered the following categories in seniority order:

73N B - DTW(25), LAX(5) and NYC(20)
320 B - DTW(7), NYC(8) and SLC(5)
M88 B - ATL(18), CVG(1), MSP(9) and NYC(2)
717 B - ATL(39) and DTW(37)

I would anticipate all newhires to go to the 717 or the MD88.
