I don't want this to sound like bragging, but I think we were in class together, and I refused to contribute. I will say that I had 15 years of experience telling the CFC to F' Off when they require you to sign a piece of paper every year specifically stating that you do not want to give part of your military paycheck to something that the government has deemed worthy.
Either way, this was ridiculous, and I remember commenting to my buddies that if any Delta employees needed assistance, it was probably new hire pilots.
I can speak from experience. They do not hunt you down if you do not sign up to give money. I don't remember even getting a cross look.

.I left the class with the impression they had bullied everybody into giving, but I didn't personally check everybody's donation form!

I wouldn't characterize that as an oral. Not a traditional oral, at least. More like 10-15 minutes of asking questions, aided by PowerPoint slides. Which, by the way, they do every time you go to the sim for a 44X.

Both are worthy and do good works, if anyone is in a giving mood.

Dell Laptop for Distance Learning Available
If anyone is interested in buying a Dell to do their distance learning I've got one available for sale. I bought it on eBay about a month ago to do mine. It's refurbished and costs $100. Worked fine for me. All I downloaded from the web was Google Chrome to get an antivirus program (AVG). Other than that, didn't surf the net.
I'm staying at the Atlanta Airport North Holiday Inn until Aug 15 if you're interested.

On another positive note delta is posting on their crew resources update that they are increasing hiring from 120/month to 150/month in a few months. If there is a pool it is very shallow. If you have an upcoming interview and get hired expect to start within weeks of your interview. Keep those apps updated...

Expect a mix of 717, 88, A320 and 737. Lots of NYC, ATL and a few DTW has been the norm. Seniority is and will always be best in NYC. If you can make that work bid it.
