Delta Airlines
MP,
Your question is a good one. I retired after 30+ years as a Delta pilot. I've made a few attempts over the years to get guys interviews by writing letters and making phone calls. After all those years, I, along with a few other retired captains, got one guy an interview by writing letters and making calls to Capt. Plato Rhyne. It was uphill all the way even for us on the inside. All we were able to do was get his application pulled to the top of the pile to be looked at. I doubt that your dad's frequent-flyer status would do much for you; several line captains were barely able to get a prime candidate looked at. Good luck to you...persistence is the key.
