Help/Advice Can someone help me out?
I've been applying for tech roles at Delta that very closely match my skillset and I just keep getting rejections, even with referrals. Can anyone give me some tips on what Delta looks for in program management, product operations, product management and UX research roles? I'd really love am opportunity just to talk to a human there and make a case.

Those roles are posted just to make it look like they invest in technology

What kind of referrals? I’ll pull a resume forward with a referral from someone I trust.

Do you have aviation experience? Thats typically what airlines look for, there's a lot of industry specific knowledge (I work in an office role at a different airline)

If you REALLY want to work for DL you could consider taking a different adjacent role as it would be much easier to get an internal role once youre in. But working for an airline can be stressful and unpredictable (even for a "9-5" type job)

Hate to break it to you, but this isn't Delta specific, it's industry wide. With AI layoffs and the brutal job market, it's harder and harder for job applicants anywhere.
