Well he was interviewing for a pilot position and Delta is huge on customer service and metrics like net promoter score. He may not have had the same “ customers”as us regional guys but he still served some sort of customer.

And WTF do your college grades have to do with flying an airplane?

No idea but I turned that story into a positive and told them that I aced the class the next semester.

Maybe to see how your react to a conversational conversation? I’m sure plenty of people get pissy during an interview answering simple questions.

Because that is the job he was applying for. Turns out in the last 20 or so years, fighter pilots have been in the "customer service" job too, at least if you can stretch the stories and imagination a little bit, though the stakes are obviously much much higher/more serious. Nice write up Jordan, thanks!

Nah
The ability to make the FO hate you enough that he doesn't want to fly with you again, but not enough to get yourself reported to Pro Stans.
Every time I sit in a plane.

In the best Junkyard Willie voice, "Calm yo ass down, this is what you signed up for."
I need you to fix yourself, or I call and have you removed.
We're going. I got cat-like eyes.
Defer it. Can we just drain the whiskey for later? Is that drinkable?
CAN I HAZ JOB NOW?!?!

You’re sitting mildly wrinkly and with some grey hair?

Then I’d do AA as my #1.

Nope, I'm Black. So I often pass for middle to late '20s and frequently have to produce my ID for the doubters. Or when I buy alcohol.

United is my #1, if I had to choose. AA's definitely not too far behind when it comes to preference.
I don't think anyone should go to a WO if that's the mainline carrier where you most want work. Except in the case of AA, which has a flow. Most of these programs are just a recruiting tool. Even a flow. But Aviate/CPP and DGI have such abysmal numbers and so many hoops to jump through.
I'm a planner and a thinker. PSA or EDV are at this current outlook my top choices. Both airlines have UA and LCC's pulling from their pilot ranks, long before they ever flow or get called up their CPP/DGI. I hear that there's a joke. If you want to get hired at Delta, go to an AA WO. XJT though billed as the best way to United, doesn't really seem that way, with the Aviate slim pass rate. With PSA you have a flow in your back pocket and can still apply and reach for two other legacies United and DL. It seems a much surer bet. But what do I know? Right now, I'm just consumed with finding that all too important next step/first aviation/time building job post-primary.

Come to 9E. My brother’s friend’s grandmother’s great grandson who follows 9E on Instagram says Delta is pulling the 747s out of the desert and giving them to us. Inaugural route is DTW-FNT. Endeavor has 4 crew bases. Flow is a 4 letter word. Coincidence? I think not.
