Its just not credible to think you smoked the interview and then said you called in sick on a holiday and that, and only that, turned it into a thumbs down. That's just not credible.

Did you attend this year's WAI conference? Just wondering if they have started to call folks who may have earned an extra credit mark that was enough to push their application to a high enough score.

I believe they said that attending the WAI conference would get your app scored, but would not add points to it's score.

I'm curious if anyone else thinks it's about time that Delta relaxes some of the hiring practices. In the next couple of years, pilot's will finally be in control of the hiring due to supply and demand. Anyone else agree, or am I full of BS? Nothing like acting like the ugly chick looking for a prom date and hoping they get picked. I hate hearing of fully qualified dudes that are passed up, that someone knows is a wrong decision. I know dudes that have been passed by and everyone is wondering, ***, including wing commanders (on the mil side). I'd be curious how things pan out in the coming years. Obviously everyone wants to be with the mighty D, and honestly, the appearance of cockiness is there by mother D. But that always comes to an end. Everything goes in cycles. Good luck to all. Great company, but I just hate hearing of bro's that are denied that I know would be great for the company. I wish the company would come back down to earth. Vent over.

The training pipeline just can't swallow any more than that right now. But as the retiring age 65 pilots start heading out in droves over the next 5 years, the pipeline will have to expand and they will have to hire more than one out of 10.

I think you will see that as time goes by and the hiring pool starts to thin out. Right now they are flooded with guys who have been waiting on the sidelines for the past 10 years. There are about 10,000 applicants for 1,000 jobs (per year), so only 1 out of 10 can be hired, even if 80% of them are "Great Guys".

So if you're military and you didn't fly on a weekend or holiday, that's supposed to mean you dodged work by not making yourself available to fly? That's BS. How about "my squadron wasn't scheduled to fly on that weekend or holiday"?
Don't think that's common? You should be an SUPT T-6 IP in AETC.

And yet others did call in sick on a holiday and got hired. So clearly there has to be (much) more to it than just that.
Its just not credible to think you smoked the interview and then said you called in sick on a holiday and that, and only that, turned it into a thumbs down. That's just not credible.
