All pilots hired at Delta shall have:

3000 TT,
1000 Turbine PIC

Military flight training successfully completed and an Airline/121 Ops course completed
3000 TT
1000 Turbine PIC

Or whatever you guys feel appropriate. Keep the standards high. That'll help combat a lot of downward pressure in the future. They'll have to keep wages high to attract the qualified applicants when there is a shortage of them out there.
