13 March indoc as well, I interviewed Nov 7th and 8th. I think four of us made the cutoff for 13 March.

Due to my wife's educational endeavors we'll be moving to Madison, WI while I'm in training. I'll try to get to MSP as fast as possible to make the commute easy. Am I correct in assuming the 88 to anywhere is the quickest path to that goal?

Thanks,
Ben

Rumor is that with all the 88 flying leaving NYC that they may be opening a DTW base for the 88. No official announcement that I know of but someone mentioned this being brought up in a CP base visit in LGA.

Anyone confirm the rumor or know of any Army pilots being hired by Delta? United is hiring a lot of Army FW pilots along with Southwest, Jet Blue, UPS, and a myriad of regional/cargo carriers.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yes, Delta has hired a couple, maybe a few Army aviators in the recent hiring wave. There was a union publication that detailed hiring demographics, and there were 3 hired in 2014-2015. I met a new hire Army guy at the training center a couple months ago. There are a few of us. Keep updating your application and attend the job fairs.
