But the whole "key" comment....bull. We aren't the Red Cross.
Here's the thing. I know "Derg." We went through ER initial together. He's now an Airbus captain who is a personal friend of AK. To say he has an insider view of what they want is an understatement. Think of him as E.F. Hutton.



Do you even lift?

Absolutely...congrats.....

Sorry to thread-drift here, so you can respond privately....

Looking at a FSI school-house opportunity in ATL as well...with that said, we've been investigating places to live....

Wife is a product of the Buckhead area and private schools...NEITHER of which are on the table here ;-)

So, North Fulton is an option as is the Woodstock area..both great schools (that's a mandate) and lower taxes up in Cherokee county...

But a steady diet of that drive, at least from the Woodstock area would suck....

So...what are good options to the south, schools, kid-friendly neighborhoods, etc..?

Thanks, again, PM's would be good....

There's a "living in Atlanta" thread somewhere that has some good info for you. I just bought in Fayetteville off Redwine Road.

Schools were huge deal for us too, Fayette county schools are good.

I met plenty of sim instructors that lived on North side and made the drive work. Didn't sound too fun to me. Woodstock looked nice and I think the drive is ok (for North side), though the braves are building a stadium up that way.

Good luck

I do volunteer work at the VA, so it was easy listing it like a job. I put the volunteer coordinator as the supervisor with phone number and address. The VA gives us a badge and title of Regular Service Volunteer, so that I what I used as a title.

For your church activities, I'd put the name of the church, phone number, and whomever is in charge of organizing activities, such those, as the supervisor. Generic beginning date to present, then be descriptive using words for computers to find and score that tell them some of the things that you do. For your coaching work, if it is for the city/school/youth group, list those as your employer and a coordinators name as a supervisor. Again, be descriptive.

From what little perspective I had during the interview, I don't know that more "volunteering" is better, but they do like to see guys doing something for the community. Be humble about it. I don't think they want guys wearing servitude on their sleeve or trying to collect "likes", but they need something to separate the 3000 hour military pilots apart, or the 8000 hour PART121 pilots apart.

Good luck!

ULTRARUNNER,
Glad to hear you got it fixed. I hope you get the call soon. I had a few errors in my stuff after I was "absolutely certain" it was 100% accurate. It took a buddy giving it a second look to find a few things I missed. It is easy to miss stuff on airlineapps.
Good luck!

Thanks Sputnik, I'll take a look at that thread...

So far, it seems that "the key" is volunteerism.
For the non-Mother Teresa types out there, a ray of hope. I actually do some volunteering, but I didn't any on my Delta app--as others have said it's not obvious where to put it and it didn't occur to me it mattered.

Helpful, sure. Important, maybe. "Key?"....not seeing it.
