Its amazing I would give my left nut to fly for CAL, and here this guy is on the 756 for them and he wants to go to DELTA, crazy crazy industry
1st year pay at CAL is around 28-30, no health for 6 months
1st year at DAL is 49, health 1st day of training

Also DAL has taken pay cuts and there pay is still better and work rules better than CAL. All that when CAL has not taken 45% pay cuts. CAL has been hiring for awhile now. DAL is on the front side of hiring. It all makes since to me. Plus in my I think DAL is in another league than CAL. Back in the day all the pilots were trying to get on with DAL, UAL, and AA. Scabs went to CAL.

Wow, surprising, given the "on-paper' talent and experience. Especially strange that 4 CA's were not selected.

Can't drop names in a public forum, since I'm not the C-2 guy.
He flies in SD.

We had a really sharp guy in our class off the 757/767 at CAL. He always wanted to fly for Delta and the Delta bases appealed to him.

As far as the 1 in 7 goes, that is surprising given the quality of those candidates. Could it be that Delta already has what they need for classes through October? I had heard Delta was going to take November and December off, then start back in the spring.

I don't think so. There is so little variability from one interview day to the next (because the entire interview process is so standardized). The only change day to day are the line experienced interviewers. From an informal poll, everyones interview was about normal.

W/ regard to classes...only Sep classes have been filled. FYI.

Just a bad day really, that is all. I wouldn't read too much into it. It just sucks.

I don't...100%. I just remember the pilot hiring team saying something to that effect. I could absolutely be mistaken. I have also heard that the 17th's class is still open. Good call man, thanks...take what I say w/ a grain of salt.
