Have your dad get on ebids and refer you for any job you would be interested in...if you apply without the employee referral link you could end up lost in peoplesoft, unfortunately...there is no way to add the referal once you create your profile and apply for the job...

Whereas nepotism is frowned alot in the Civil Service, and government, NEPOTISM seems to be encouraged in the airlines. I know alot of husband and wife teams, sons, daughters, uncles, nephews working in the airlines. I've seen it at work first hand too, guy getting on the phone trying to get his somebody hired. Like a previous poster, I too had ZERO help in getting into the airlines. I did it the hard way. Had to show my military discharge papers and characterization of discharge, schooling, and licenseure. I've often wondered why I had to show this to get hired while others showed what? Could talk a good game?

My dad doesn't have access to ebid because he recently retired and is at IBM now, but he did retire with delta and still has benefits. Is there any other way to look for jobs?

Apply at deltajobs and good luck. I had no help getting into the airlines when I started with Northwest 12 years ago. At dca we are hiring off the streets as well as family, friends and transfres. We are adding a bunch of new flights at the end of Oct. It's gonna be an adventure.

sorry, i thought your father was still employed...as far as I know only active employees can refer applicants...maybe some of your dad's old buddies could refer you...
when the referral is being done it doesn't matter what dept the employee is in or what job you are being referred too...it all goes to peoplesoft and applicants who apply via the referral link are closer to the top and your application is less likely to get lost in the shuffle...We have received over 200,000 applications over the summer for open Reservations, inflight and airport positions...
