  • Read Page 1 ... previous interviewee and some verbal interview questions from my wife the night prior- overall, I felt nervous going in but was ultimately very comfortable with HR interview questions. Order your items into the 2 sections as described in their documents checklist. You will not have your phone all day. Enjoy getting to know the other candidates and we ended up having lunch with a Delta pilot instructor who seemed to enjoy his current Atlanta domicile and sim job. After my personality test and HR interview, around 1pm I was notified of my job offer. I then completed some other paperwork, drug test, the Psych call, and...

    Interview went exactly like others have described it - HR panel, MMPI, meeting with psych. Mrs. Dorothea does a great job of making you feel relaxed and welcome. Don’t take the paperwork lightly - the turn-in is a part of the interview and is a test of how organized you are. I recommend using an accordion binder labeled with all documents they requested. Don’t trust the “sets” they email you about, they’ll change it day of. Our class went 6/6 for CJOs. I got...

    Day Itinerary is as everyone says it is. Ms. Dorthea is amazing and helps reduce the stress in the room. For the MMPI, don’t think about the questions too much. Just answer honestly and quickly. It’s roughly 550 questions. HR portion: There weren’t any questions that threw me off other than them not wanting personal details during my intro. They just wanted the aviation related details to keep it around 3 minutes. They cater toward your application and experience. TMAAT...

    Fantastic experience, even though it’s a long day. Got started at 6.45 sharp and it was immediately obvious how well planned and structured the day was. My group started with the MMPI first, panel interview second, psych eval last (once we’d received our CJOs). We also did the drug testing and fingerprinting right there, on the day. If you read the various experiences on here, there won’t be any surprises. Obviously, no one can tell you what questions to expect, because...

    My interview was pretty much as advertised. Show up before 6:45, drop off the required documents in a meeting room, then move to a common area and wait to be split up into groups for the interview or MMPI. From there, you will be in the interview or MMPI for about an hour and then take a break and come back and do whichever section you haven't done yet. After another break, you will return and they will let you know if you got the CJO or not. I did not encounter any surprises or feel that...

    Nothing has changed from previous write-ups. Prepare for a long day, Delta puts on a very professional clinic. Stayed at the Hotel across the street (walkable in less than 10 min), I chose to take the shuttle from hotel. Show up no later than 0630 to get checked in and ID badge for a 0645 start. Mrs Dorthea is awesome she will greet you and get all your paperwork organized the way Delta wants it (in different sets). Half the group does interviews starting at 0800 and the other half will do...

    As described in other reports. I know it’s easy to say after getting a CJO but try to leave your stress at the door (quoted by Miss Dorothea who is the best!) They remind you that they can give everyone a CJO that day so just be authentic and a positive attitude while remaining professional. Even though I was insanely nervous the whole time they did a fantastic job putting you at ease. I interviewed at 0800 and was on the first break by about 8:40. MMPI at 10 and that took about 45...

    Gouges here were spot on. First you go to the security check to sign in and get a printed name badge. Next they take everyone into a waiting room outside of the Pilot Recruiting area. Most interviews arrived before 6:15am but you won't miss anything if you arrive at 6:45am. The welcome and pep-talk came a little before 7am and then we all went to check our bags and phones inside of the room where you'll spend most of the day. They do have you check your phone and instruct you to not use it...

    Like the others mentioned, Delta puts on a first class process. The attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism of the team was top notch. While Dorthea wasn’t there, her replacement also did a great job making everyone feel comfortable. The day starts at 0630. I stayed at a hotel, which has an airport shuttle running every 20 minutes, which can drop you off at the Delta HQ but you have to specifically ask for it. For most people, the process ends by at least 1500, if not...

    Delta put on a first class interview process. 6 total interviewees - 3 groups of 2 3 main portions: - HR interview - approximately 45 minutes - The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (540+ true/false questions) - Psych Call (online remote video call). Greeted warmly and constantly given very clear directions on where to go and...

  11. The gouge was actually very accurate and helpful. It was definitely legitimate. Just the descriptions of what to expect from people who very recently went though it was a huge stress reliever. Thank you for this service. It helped me get my dream job at Delta.

    I have successfully received 4 CJOs at various regional, low-cost, and major airlines and received helpful guidance from this site. I recommend this site to any and every pilot who is pursuing a new job.
