Thanks, Colonel.
You might have a tough time adjusting to airline life.

On topic, I got an email offering me an earlier interview date and I took it -- now interviewing 28 July. This brings up what I hope is a really stupid and paranoid question. Hypothetically, if Delta is authorized to hire 80 pilots a month, and by the time I interview they've already hired 79, are their hands tied on the number of people they can give a CJO?
No. That has nothing to do with anything. They pass who they pass, and they then get sorted for an available class date once everything is complete.

They will ask for your college transcripts though, to prove you have a degree.

HA, I wonder if he realizes that if he gets hired, he is then required to derail every thread on here to make it about Delta?

I think I'll manage and thanks for the promotion. Being courteous to others and following simple to understand guidelines comes naturally to me.

Well played sir! I had assumed it didn't matter but I've learned that what I assume everybody else does/thinks is often incorrect.

You're asking strangers on the internet for hiring gossip. Get over it.

Mike, congrats on the interview. Take it seriously and prepare. PM me if you want some insight coming from the USAF.

Secondly, this ain't Vance, or CBM, or wherever we have UPT bases now. Its a whole new endeavor. My advice is to tone it down a notch and listen. Almost all of the guys opining here are senior, and some, will be very senior to you if you get the offer. Chain of command won't matter any more.

You've got the flying chops, now you gotta prove you've got the CRM, good pilot, fun-to-be-with chops. Whole 'notha level. IMO, quit sweating the small stuff and take in the important stuff. You're first push in ATL or JFK will rock your world....if you're fortunate enough.

And, to your question, no. If you're hired, you're hired. The projected monthly training date is just that, what the schoolhouse can absorb. You'll get a training date. We have 12,000 pilots who are going through same said schoolhouse doing our 9-month recurrent training, transitioning to other equipment, requaling in same equipment, etc. You've never seen anything like it.

Good luck!
Buzz

And, its Delta Air Lines. F that up, and you're done.
