Seems like a lot of people are whining about things they heard from a friend about interviews. If you dislike the way a certain airline conducts its interviews, don't want to get a type rating pre-interview, or don't like who they may invite to a dinner, don't apply or figure out a way to metaphorically hold your nose during the process.

Maybe you've forgotten about how it is when you're searching for a job.

WARich, you said, roughly, "welcome, now we are going to pick who you can bring to our dinner." Sounded like a complaint to me. When I got hired, I was a single civilian. Imagining that there is some code about whether or not we hire only married military pilots or guys who belong to country clubs or guys with a master's degree or better is folly. If your time is competitive, you will eventually get called. Be prepared, be honest, and let it flow. Also, internal recommendations will help a ton, as you no doubt realize. I truly hope if this is where you want to work that you get your shot. Delta is a good place to work and the airline is hitting on all cylinders right now.

Here's how I looked at it. They were paying for it; I'd bring who they said I could bring. They were simply trying to prevent guys (or gals) from having someone tag along for a free evening out. On the other hand, we never have to buy newspapers, sit around FBOs, or be on call 24/7! We got that goin' for us at least!

Its a bonified "significant other" event I think. The intent is to make it a special event and not for casual dates. If you are really close to someone and want them to come, make your case and ask for an exemption. Its a special event with pictures taken and honestly just not a good time for the average BF/GF to come along unless you are very serious about them, in which case...

One of my buddies did, but 5yrs ago. I'd think with the Legacies on the prowl, they'd be a little "lax'd" with the requirement? But, then again they're not hiring the #'s like the Legacies..
