Quick question for anyone at Delta who can answer:

Over the last few years, I have worked very hard and networked myself into some very good contacts at Delta Air Lines.

Saying that, my first question:

1) Do pilot managers (ACP and above, Fleet Captains for example) have influence in getting someone an interview? I know some airlines might not do that but I think most do.

2) Are masters degrees still weighed heavily at Delta?

Thanks in advance from a wanna-be.

Cheers.
