I remember sinking down into the couch while he towered over me in his chair of domination.

Lots of guys were worried about the suit and shrink thing. Just be yourself, remove the piercings, and don't talk about over throwing the government.
Our goal should be to change that. Come up with something like everyone needs to wear bow tie with a ruffled shirt. Or maybe striped shirts with checkered ties. It would certainly make the interviews more fun.

I've just always heard about the red tie thing and the only job I didn't get was the one that I wore a red tie to. It was my 1st interview and I never wore it again. If in the delta hiring manual it says someone loses points for not wearing the red tie then fine but I've never heard that its a firm no.

Well I wore a green suit and a green tie and got hired... but it was St. Patricks Day.

Default Red Tie

You can't be a non-conformist without a uniform.

Good luck to all that apply.

Yep. You don't work at Delta.

It might not be a firm no, but it will hurt your chances.


You should really keep your opinions about DAL hiring to yourself. It is something you know little about and may damage other people's chances of a job here.

This discussion is kind of moot. With our flow-up agreements, most of our new pilots don't even have to meet Delta's minimum qualifications (bachelor's degree) yet alone interview.

I think CPZ required the degree. There might be 1 or 2 out there without one.

XJ is a different story.





I am NOT a fan of flow agreements. There are some great pilots that are going to flow, but I want to be able to get the people that I know will be the best for the job to the front of the line for the slots.

XJ requires a degree to be eligible for the flow. All the pilots here at XJ that do not have one are not allowed to flow until they get it.

For as long as that lasts. I'm getting many questions from something out there that has folks thinking a deal is in the works to spin off a subsidiary, or several subsidiaries, perhaps without their Certificates.

No good quotes or good sources, but the number of people asking the question indicates someone thinks it is a possibility.

SkyWest is often mentioned as the buyer.

Frankly, I just don't see Delta management going along with a Mesaba flow. I'll be surprised if it happens. If the flow does happen, it will be the result of some serious ALPA arm twisting behind the scenes. Lee Moak is a big supporter of flow through agreements as a way around the pain of outsourcing and he's put work into it.
