I see your a 320 guy, how do you like the a/c
Just wondering, I see your an A320 guy, how do you like the aircraft. I was on the Maddogg, being a C-130 guy it was the most technical a/c I had been on and didn't mind it. Looking to get in the 320 in DTW after I return from military leave. Any feedback on training or the plane itself. Don't mean to tie you up, but how are the trips and the aircraft in general. Would appreciate any info, thanks,
Nate

I just wanted to let y'all know that the VP of Flight Ops said today that they picked a Manager of Pilot Hiring.
One more step toward starting the hiring process - I won't say his name because I don't know if it's public info, but he's been a pilot at Delta for more than 30 years and is very experienced. He's definitely not some paper-pusher.

Regarding speeding tickets: I have had plenty over the past 15 years, but when I pull up my driving records from each state I've been licensed, only 3 are on record. Does a prospective employer have some special access to older records that an individual can't access? I certainly don't intend to lie, but I would have to completely guess on a number and have no idea on the dates. Why disclose something that is no longer on record?

Just in case you missed it, the interview is all about being H O N E S T. Simple really, just list what you have. If you don't remember the dates or places or number of tickets, just say so.

I collected 8 speeding tickets in 4 states. They actually joked about it...
I like to fly fast and efficient.

Check your record on the National driving history (something like that) - they may have some of your tickets listed. Its been too long to remember the exact name, but I am sure guys more current in the job search know what I am talking about and how to obtain a copy.

If we are being judged on perfection no one would get hired. Everyone has made mistakes, had failures, etc. Be open and honest and be able to present them in an adult manner.
Take responsibility for your actions, good and bad, and be able to explain what you did wrong, and what you learned from it. Being honest but then making excuses as to why it wasn't your fault is just as bad as being dishonest IMO.

One way to handle "stories", and especially the negative ones, is to write down all of the questions you might be asked and especially those you don't ever want asked and practice your answers over and over again. It will keep you from digging yourself into holes as well as you talk. But definately have some great stories to tell and great spin answers to blimishes- we all have them.
