Delta Pilot Recruiting
Good afternoon,
Tomorrow, Friday morning, at 10:00am Eastern, we will open registration for one-on-one meeting slots with Delta Pilot Recruiters at this year’s PAPA Convention in Las Vegas, June 2-3.
For this event we will be using a new registration system, which we hope will make the registration process more pleasant for you, the candidate. Unlike our past practice of offering slots on a first-come, first-served basis, and then leaving the registration page open in case of cancellations, this time the registration site will remain open for 3 days, and slots will not be given out in real time, as previously. At the conclusion of that 3 day period, at 10:00am on Monday the 27th, registration will close, and in the following days slots will be offered to qualified registered candidates based on a mix of overall qualifications and random selection. There will not be a way to register to book a slot in advance of the event after registration closes on Monday.
In order to be considered for a meet and greet with a recruiter you must meet the following criteria:
- Have a complete, submitted application on file with Delta that has been updated in the past 90 days, and meets all of our minimum qualification requirements
- Have not unsuccessfully interviewed or tested in Delta’s Pilot Selection process in the past 90 days
- Have not met with one of our recruiters at an in-person event in the past 180 days
Candidates who are selected for a meet and greet slot will be informed via the email they used to register. Candidates not selected will be placed on standby list for advanced notice cancelations, and there will be a separate list at the event for short notice availability. Further details can be found on today’s post on our facebook page.
We hope this system will make this process less stressful than it has been for many in the past, and we hope might let us meet with more candidates at the event. Please feel free, as always, to DM us here with questions.

Today’s update will focus on common issues we’ve seen regarding application updates. Please visit our Facebook page at /deltapilotrecruiting

Delta will add 31 additional next-generation Airbus widebody aircraft to its fleet, an investment that will fuel international growth and accelerate fleet renewal in the years to come. The announcement combines a new, incremental order with the exercise of 10 options and adds 20 additional future widebody options.
“As we grow our international footprint and prepare our fleet to serve expanded long-haul markets, these aircraft will enhance our capabilities and elevate our premium offerings,” Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said. “We value our long-standing partnership with Airbus, and with these widebody aircraft we will see long-term growth and cost benefits for years to come.”
