Delta opening new hire window?

They do in fact like to see your app updated every 30 days?
I was told this by the manager of hiring, who almost in the same breath mentioned they weren't going to be hiring for a while (over a year ago) so it seems of value to me to update very often.

Good info, I've been telling guys to update often and no one believes me. The response is often "but they 're not hiring?" It's such an easy way to show desire and dedication. I guess there are guys and gals who do what it takes and there are others who just sit around and complain when others receive interview emails.

Don't even get me started on this one...

Come on I want to hear it!

Well I always tell people to "be ready" at any time for anything because opportunity doesn't scream "Yoooooo hoooooo!! Opportunity!"

It'll be midway thru the next hiring process and then people will start updating their applications, trying to get LOR's in and asking rudimentary questions like "well, I'm CLOSE to my bachelors degree, why can't they accept that? Blah blah blah"

Always have current business cards on your person, or at least in your car. Be where the people are that can perhaps help you and if you want a job, act like it.

I'm really a broken record on this stuff but nobody liss'nin yo.

True story. I was in the lounge in EWR a few weeks ago and there was just myself and another pilot who was about to DH (deadhead, not that godforsaken "darling hubby") back to MSP.

The other pilot took a telephone call from a friend in MSP who is part of the whole Pinnacle Airlines nightmare and was chewing his ear off about wanting to get out of PCL and perhaps go on to Atlas.

Low and behold, I happen to personally know some people in HQ that could be helpful so I got the two parties in contact with one another 15 minutes later and he started the day with angst about PCL and ended the day with an interview at his dream job.

...Because he reached out.

He had no idea that when he called his friend to bitch about wanting out, that only a few feet away was a person who may hold the key to that actually being able to take place.

These opportunities happen multiple times, every day.

EVERY DAY.

Hell, missing a nonstop out of ORD to MCO one day and going through CVG was the opportunity which got me to Southernjets because the line check airman just happened to read my website that morning and heavens to murgatroid, here that kid is on my Jumpseat.

Keep it updated, keep it positive and talk every day about what you want to do and where you want to go. You never know who is watching, listening or just waiting for an opportunity to say, "Hey, I can help"

Only reason I got my current job is because I was in new-hire at Cape with an ATA L-1011 furloughee, and over the course of the next year had coffee with him occasionally in BOS when we'd fly in from our respective outstations. About 6 months after he ran off to the job I thought I'd never qualify for, he sent me an email asking me to send him my resume. The next day, my interview was scheduled.

Oh, and I only got that Cape job because a guy who I'd taught instruments to ended up working there a couple years later, and I'd kept in contact with him. Turns out one day while I was talking to him on the phone about my probable XJT furlough, he was sitting next to the person in charge of hiring.

I could keep going; it's a rabbit hole!
 
Oops. Mesaba, not PCL on my story above.

Good information, dasleben!

But people don't listen anyway, that's the bitter pill I have to take.
