Hey what is this yellow shot record? I'm check of the month and don't have any records outside of my military records.
Can I just go to my PCM and they will create one?
Thanks in advance

Gents -
Retired USAF 1 June 2015 and was flying right up to the end. Not working now (cool!) but I'm also not currently flying (not cool!). Got an e-mail straight from Capt Kraby before I got the interview invite telling me that DAL usually looks for min of 100 hrs of turbine time in the last 12 mos to get the interview invite. Had about 200 when I retired and got the interview invite 15 Jul and the CJO 29 Sep.
However.....as we all know, pool time is running (right now) at almost 7 months CJO to Indoc. So here's my question:
Does anyone know if having a min of ~ 100 hrs turbine time in the last 12 months once you start Indoc (or sim start) is a show-stopper or not?
If it is, I will NOT have it; at 12 mos out of the cockpit (5 months of military retirement + 7 months swimming) I'd be about 0.
I know AK says our CJOs are good for 12 months but it makes no sense to me that DAL pretty much requires 100 hrs turbine in 12 mos to GET the interview but they don't care about recency of flight time from CJO to indoc? Yeah, I know that 99% of swimmers are still flying but as a check-of-the-month guy I don't fit that category. Concerned about it because I don't want to show up in friggin' May 2016 for indoc and have DAL tell me I now don't have the currency they want to start training. Would REALLY appreciate any credible words from anyone, especially anyone that might be in the same boat. If I need turbine time even now (when I'm swimming in the pool), I need to fly temporarily for a puddle jumper vs getting a sim job or delivering pizza to sorority girls.
What say you?....

Twister-
There are probably many of us in the same situation. I had less than 100 at interview due to staff job my last year prior to retirement. After 6 months so far in the pool (and two months to go most likely) I have essentially no flying in the last 12 months. Everything I've heard is that once you have the CJO you are good -- if someone has a different experience, I'm sure they'll let the forum know!
Also, for the Yellow Fever immunization -- it is good for only 10 years and not all Immunization clinics carry it. Once you find a clinic that carries it you can ask the tech at the clinic to transcribe your military shot record onto the yellow international form -- they seem to know what to do and they have the blank forms.

I got mine at Walgreens, $175 I think. No problemo. Just go in the middle of the day when they're not super busy. I called and asked the pharmacist when would be best. I wasn't current, I think it had been 12 or 13 years since the last one. Really, it took more time to make the copies of everything they want copies of for Indoc.

Hurry up already and get over here!
During indoc, you will take a group photo on day one in front of the DC-3 in the Delta Air Lines Museum. When you get that picture ( usually last day or so of indoc ) there is a link on the back of it. It gives you the code and instructions. So make sure you wear your Plaid Rodney Dangerfield Suit and Tie day one!
