How many new hires do you know OTS with no degree? Zero.

How many new hires who haven't received the briefing packet abt indoc yet? Well 16 interviews per day roughly 12 hired each day. 12x3 (Tuesday through Thursday first day interviews)x6 wks = 216 and those numbers are very "shy"

But to your point, Mike, touché.

Is the suit on the first day of Indoc also a red tie affair?

It's your class picture. Not the eyebrow raising, stand out from the crowd, sharkskin leisure suit of the interview. Best dude in my new hire class was a tan suit to everything guy.

Hmmm.. I don't see how stealing the guy's suit will help you be a better person.

What's the average percent of each class made up by flow? I am truly jelous of those guys, but more importantly how can Delta say they are hiring the best pilots when so many Captains with years of experience cannot even get an interview. It seems a travisty that so many pilots with 10 to 20 years of experience cannot get an interview simply because HR department started a new formula of acquiring applicants. (ie 28 year old FO with a 4.0 will make a better Delta Pilot than 7 years of 121 PIC. I was told by Delta HR guy recently that Endeavor FO's are now being interviewed. I will have no ill will if turned down after an interview, but I believe I and many other regional captains have earned an opportunity to at least interview.
