I plan on applying regardless so I don't self eliminate myself, just wanted to hear from anybody if they have heard about guys like myself getting an interview. Thanks for the input.
I believe the computer system flags apps to be pulled on a points basis. Your points will be increased if you have a letter of recommendation that is submitted from your friends delta.com email address. So when you apply via airlineapps, submit your LOR request to their delta.com email address, otherwise it scores less.
My recommendation is to apply and prepare. No one really knows who will be called. When I was hired in 2008 I had less then 1000 TPIC. I was never a LCA, and had no internal LORs. Just apply and start studying ASAP.
