What class were you in with those times? That's pretty low for the Compass classes, unless they started going in a different direction. The early classes and many of late have been well above that. When my classmates and I interviewed we had 2 NWA guys (1 was on medical) a HR specialist not Compass but a hired gun, who if i am not mistaken is now a Delta HR specialist and the dang 727 sim. A ATP written (god only knows how i remembered some of those questions). A 727 sim check. Lots of fun after spending the last 8 years on glass was given constant rate climbing turns at 500FPM then 1000FPM, followed by constant rate descents and turns along with speed changes(increase and decrease in speed while maintaining 1000 FPM. Then told to intercept the FGT 180 degree radial and climb to 12000 feet on that radial I was given a DME intersection hold with less then 5 miles to enter and told to comply with all applicable FAR speeds for holding. After i was finished i looked back at the sim instructor and he was laughing (he later appoligized and said he was told to provide a sim evaluation and had no script to work from but thought it be exciting to see what they could throw at you. My buddy was after me... I told the instructor that my buddy was a expert in holding with only the number 2 and 3 engine.

I then proceeded to the medical evaluation at park nicolet airport clinic and had a thourgh eval. (not quite like the eagle eval 9 years earlier but thourgh indeed.

Crap i will loose numbers in the class IF this flow does happen. On the boarder for the first class, most likely in the second... and WAY closer to 0000. Some from Compass will leap over me. Thats a lot of MSP guys to go in front of me. Probably won't be a issue anyhow, somehow i see myself commuting to the East Coast again... Just never able to fully escape that place.

Who knows you might leap frog me.. or maybe i stay at Compass and continue to fight the company on our hotels and get denied ALPA Leave so I can check on a hotel once a year...

I would be in the top 5 for 30 years.

Default PIC Time

Does Delta accept helicopter PIC time or only airplane PIC, also is helicopter time counted towards total time? Hopefully, credit is given for my helicopter time this would increase all of my numbers by about 50%.

Damn, Mr' Oh's. Now we're going back! I'd spend money just to "save" money. I never actually wore any of that crap!

Did you grab some "bulldoggie" from the local vendor on the way out the door? I know I did.

I think Delta used to have a military conversion as well. I have not seen one lately. Any thoughts?

I can't see how that is possible unless you are just saying they don't want to stay at Compass with "involuntary". We hired in 07 and 08 and every furlough was eligible to return. There are no involuntary furloughs that I know of, unless there were some special circumstances.

The special circumstances were that DAL required that they stay at CPZ to continue to help set the company up. In 07, there were only a few planes and less than 100 pilots, and those three are the top check airmen. They are definitely 'involuntary' furloughs.
