Anybody here a Delta pilot?

No, but I'm an Alpha pilot and @Derg is a Beta pilot. Jesus of course is an Alpha and Omega pilot.

Wait, what? Woooos-tes-SHIRE. No? That's how it's spelled, sort of. Damned liberal hippies.

I always picture Hobbits in the northeast, but I mostly get angry Italians. Hard to figure.

Angry Northeast Italian here...it's pronounced Wu-stah.


Couple other good ones are Amherst and Peabody. Funny to hear non-locals pronounce them.

I grew up in Amherst and never understood why people had trouble pronouncing it. I guess technically you would probably have to swap the M and H to get it to look right, but it's not a hard one. "Pebidy" on the other hand was always amusing to hear.

I'm currently a CFI with about 700TT and will be leaving for flight training for the ANG/USAF here shortly. When all is said and done, I'll be flying the F-16 out of Minnesota (pew pew) and I'd like to eventually make the transition to Delta once I'm done with my initial training.

I've looked at the pilot hiring mins and noticed that they have their baseline but the page also says that "When evaluating the flight time of applicants meeting the basic qualifications, consideration will be given to, among other things, quality, quantity, recency, and verifiability of training; complexity of aircraft flown; types of flight operations; and hours flown as PIC in turbine powered aircraft."

After my training, would I be eligible to submit a resume for Delta considering the military flight training? How does a major view the glorious single engine jet time? Anything is appreciated!!!

But to answer the actual question, there are a pretty good number of Delta guys here.

Go to Memphis and ask for the Peebiddy hotel... I remember when I was based in BOS, first night there the company put us in Peabody. Cab driver looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said it.
 
Having two heads is easy, you just cut one off. Being a yankee, well, there's no easy fix for tha...no wait, you just cut one off.
