, , CJO Not Offered, Delta Ride Reports, 0
Which Airline did you interview with? Delta
How many days between invite, interview, and listed availability? Date availability 2 months. Also 2 months between invite to interview.
Did you include volunteer work in your application? Yes
Did you receive a job offer? No, 6 months re-invite, Cog Failure
If you did not receive the CJO why do you think you weren’t chosen to continue in the process? I was told my HR portion was excellent and that I passed the JKT but not by enough to bring up my total testing score. From that response, I can only guess that I did poorly on the various COG tests.
What is your experience? Military
Total Flight Time 3,000-4,000
Total Turbine PIC Time
TPIC 121 hours 0
TPIC Military hours 1000-2000

General Overview of Experience Delta is absolutely a class act. I can’t say enough about the professionalism of the entire organization. They are definitely pulling for you and do their best to make the process as streamlined and comfortable as possible.
How long did you have your application in before you received an invite? <60 days
Did you attend a job fair? No
Did you do anything special that triggered the interview invitation? ATP-CTP course through the Delta Training Center.
How many internal recs did you have? 1-2
How long was it from the time of your invite to the actual interview? 8 weeks
Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork? None…I just brought my green ARM folder. No questions/concerns.
Technical Test Questions RST seemed to cover everything. There weren’t many surprises.
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test? Electrical systems and individual breakdown of turbine engine components were both a little more in depth than I expected.
HR Questions I was asked to tell them about myself since high school and how I got into aviation (no time limit given). We also discussed my college and degree choices. Was asked about SUPT phase check unsats. Other than that, discussion focus on the transition from military to part 121 flying, roles and responsibilities of an FO and CA, and my basic decision making/thought processes. No big surprises.
Cog Test Not sure what happened here. Felt confident with all the tests and actually enjoyed them. I didn’t think there were any issues and was surprised to hear I did poorly.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview? 3 months
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help? I used ECIC and they provide a great service with some critical insight. That being said, the biggest part of the HR portion is to just be yourself. Be real and don’t rely on canned answers. The HR team I had were all great and made me very comfortable. It truly was pilots just talking about being pilots. I actually enjoyed the time I had in there and won’t change anything with the HR portion between now and when I go back for round 2.
Any additional information you would like to add.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?
