  • Delta put on a first class interview process from cradle to grave. 6 total interviewees- 3 groups of 2. 3 main portions: Personality Test (520+ true/false questions), HR interview - 45 minutes, Psych Call (online remote video call). Greeted warmly and constantly given very clear directions on where to go and when. The HR interview portion was approximately 45 minutes and they try their best to relax you by starting with "tell me about you" type questions before getting into a multiple scenarios. I will say, I did not do other interview prep besides the study guides on the website and one hour-long call with a...

    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...

    We arrived on campus and checked in by 6:45 in the morning. From the moment we were greeted till we left everything was very welcoming and well organized. Delta is working really hard to help the applicants feel comfortable. The interview is broken down into three main groups. The interview panel, the MMPI and interview with psychologist. The study guide on this website is spot on so familiarize yourself with the question bank and be prepared to demonstrate to Delta that you are a team...

  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.
