I had an excellent experience

Which Airline did you interview with?	Delta Air Lines
How many days between invite, interview, and listed availability?
Did you receive a job offer?	Yes
If you did not receive the CJO why do you think you weren’t chosen to continue in the process?	N/A
What is your experience?	Military
Total Flight Time	1,000-2,000
Total Turbine PIC Time	1,000-2,000
General Overview of Experience	I had an excellent experience. The Delta Air Lines Pilot Recruiting Team is very professional and efficient at what they do. Don’t worry about wearing a red tie with a navy suit and black shoes. As long as your suit is professional with a dress tie you will be good to go.
How long did you have your application in before you received an invite?	6-12 months
Did you attend a job fair?	Yes
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation?	Had a friend submit an internal recommendation and received the invitation to interview two weeks later.
How many internal recs did you have?	1-2
How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview?	4 weeks
Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork?	No
How did you prepare for the JKT/COG portion of the interview?	RST, EEPP, T-34 Manual.
Technical Test Questions	About 20 were almost word for word out of RST quizzes. Another 15 or so were similar, and I could pick the right answer. 15-20 more I could narrow it down to 2 answers and could take an educated guess. 5 I completely guessed on.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	FMS Question: You are flying along and your FMS courses are much different from your charts, WWYD? There were three answers about the database that I didn’t understand (I am military and have never used an FMS). The answer I picked was “use your navigational chart as the primary reference”. Besides that, wording on many of the questions was poor. One regarding a missed approach had zero answers that matched the missed approach procedure. All the choices had at least one part that was wrong.
Cog Test	Easy with RST practice. I was scoring ~869 during about 6 total practice tests. The only part I found different was the “previous number” level. The speed that the numbers show up is slower on the real test, which adjusted my speed that I was used to on RST.
Cog Math Questions	The President’s office writes a written response to 60% of all letters received. The office wrote 384 responses. How many letters were written to the President’s office?
HR Questions	Tell me about yourself in 2-5 minutes. Where did you love of aviation come from? What is a recent aviation-related technology that you think will be significant in the future? Follow-up: What is one that will be related to your future career at DAL? You will likely be based out of NYC, or somewhere other than where you live. Have you thought about that and/or how does your wife feel about that? You are the Captain at the beginning of a trip. How do you go about setting the tone for the trip with your crew? How do flight crews directly and indirectly affect Delta’s customers? You are the F.O., the Captain is going through a messy divorce and is missing the occasional heading/altitude. WWYD? What is the most significant flying experience/EP that you have experienced? How did you choose your major?
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	4 weeks
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	Career Takeoff prepared me well. They prepare you to present YOUR OWN answers.
Any additional information you would like to add.
