Totally low-key interview.
Why are you quoting me? Im just trying to help prospective new hires. Not everyone has the 121 experience. Telling a flight instructor to not worry about it is a terrible idea. I was asked a lot about Mach tuck, what’s an anti servo tab? Not easy questions for most. And I promise they use the Delta grading criteria. I never ever said it was a Delta interview. Congrats on your superior skills.

I quoted you because you are the first person I have ever heard say that EDV uses the DL interview grading criteria. Can you elaborate on this please?

This. Know a few basic rules, how to read a METAR, how to brief an approach, some very basic aerodynamics, and you'll do fine on the tech.

The HR portion is a bit tougher, but they're just looking for honest answers.

Why EDV? TMAAT you had a conflict with a coworker. TMAAT you lead an initiative at your job and what were the results.

I will elaborate. When I interviews last year, they did use a grading scale similar to what Delta uses when hiring pilots. I wanna say like in a few categories it’s 1-5, 5 being the highest for a candidate. It’s no where near a Delta interview but their points system in taking on a new pilot is “similar”. They also mentioned something along the lines they try to look for people they feel would “fit in” at delta. Not totally obviously. But they’re trying to hire Delta material.

Tl;dr endeavor has their own interview but uses a grading scale based on what Delta does to select pilots.

Yes, this is correct. It's 1-6 though. You need a certain score to pass each section. Not scoring high enough in one section is disqualifying.

I recommend the Quizlet airline interview sets for interview prep. They do a good job of blowing the dust off technical questions.

The tech part of the interview seems to be tailored to your background.

Not sure if its relevant since its so old but I interviewed in Mar 2016 and the captain interviewer knew the seminole. I was asked questions about the PA-44 electrical and a few other small things.(since i was teaching a lot of multi) FWIW

Half the time you spend there at this point is probably a presentation about why you should wear the hat and how you're an ambassador of Delta. lol
