Social Media and the job hunt.

I liked the apology, they recognized that the intended message was not what was initially portrayed. People are going to do whatever they can to stick out from the pack, this poor guy/gal did just that with the bound folder. They were trying to be professional and go above and beyond to stand out, understandable. They had good intentions, it just doesn't line up with what Delta wants and that is perfectly understandable. Using them as an opportunity to rub it in their face didn't look good, and they owned up to it. That said, those comments are horrendous.

I see it as a cleverly disguised ploy to bring out the trolls. Now that they've been exposed, let the DB cleansing begin!

There's a lemony fresh, bleachy smell coming from the app stacks!

I, for one, look forward to working with those who actually want to work here, and not just some asshat's "Plan B" move.

Plan B is staying at a regional. Anyone who says something different probably already got a TBNT letter or crickets for years. They just can't deal with rejection.
 
I find it hilarious pilots comment about how "this is why I've never wanted to work for you!!!"

I'm sorry that just comes off as a jealousy type post, like you were told no and now hate the airline. Seriously, a FB post about a cover image and that's why you don't wanna work for Delta? I mean literally a Mesa Captain is commenting why he doesn't want to work for Delta.... Lol. Nobody buys it. Comical.

Nice apology, still a bunch of 12 year olds commenting. Shows the real immaturity.

Hell, even if you're logged into iCrew when you're in the air is an easy admission you're not adhering to password security policy, which has gotten some folks a speakin' to.

The real easy stuff to avoid getting in trouble with is why whenever I get a wild hair and think about running for Rep, makes me realize that I don't have the patience.
 
If someone is on iCrew in the air, is the first thought really that they're not adhering to password security policy (e.g., spouse logged in on ground)? I know several guys who use Gogo inflight while flying in cruise and log in certain company sites. And I know at least one at Delta who does just that.

Not smart, but it happens at a supposed company and no one cares much. Except when it came to guys on reserve who logged in inflight, saw the modification to their schedule, and think I'll just log out, go home after touchdown, and all will be well. Well now you've screwed the company. So of course they check the history and find your login during flight and now you're in trouble. But from what I hear at this supposed company, they don't care much about Gogo inflight logins to crew web unless you end up screwing the company. So if you're on reserve, just accept the notification of flight assignment.

NOT saying I condone any inflight internet behavior.

Getting in trouble for ignoring a reserve assignmen would be pretty low on the list, after, god forbid I ever have to talk to the FAA/NTSB, having to explain to them why I was snapchatting 30 minutes before an incident. Regretting a stupid knowingly stupid decision is a crappy feeling, but one that should stick with you and make stop you from making more.

You might want to remind said individual at Delta that it is strictly worded that one CANNOT be logged in to Gogo while in the cockpit, with the exception of authorized channel, which limits what can log in. This goes for jumpseaters as well, although less enforced. The PED policy is very restrictive.

Our PED policy is even more restrictive. Frankly, I think it should relax some. I'd rather have a guy reading a paper on his iPad than sleeping.
 
Can I ask in a candid moment, are you guys saying you've never seen one of your fellow pilots be on gogo inflight internet? Not saying on company websites, just in general?

I once told an FO if I saw him on the internet again his phone is going in the trash and he'll be off the trip. He was texting his new girlfriend that he left his wife for and was very distracted.

This really isn't isolated to aviation, or anything new, in fact.

I had the opportunity to go back to school a few years ago. Lots o kids were interviewing for professional school...law school, med school, pharma, etc. What was considered "ok" interview attire blew me away.

Most of the dudes looked like they woke up in a clothes hamper and couldn't be bothered with the hair brush.

Most of the women either looked like the clothes hamper model above, wore "club" clothes, or clothes that did not fit (usually 2 sizes too small).

You know its bad when it was me, the pilot, was giving fashion advice to 20 somethings.

An interview for law school?

Only school that wanted to talk to me during the 2009 application cycle was Howard, and that was because I was on the wait list and they had too many applicants.

Everyone else just gave a thumbs up or thumbs down based on LSAT/GPA.
