I'll just keep my fingers crossed and be ready when and if the email comes. Luckily I have 7 LOR's and all from Delta pilots. That might help but again there is a lot of luck involved.
Hiring will be very limited to off the streeters for a few years. I know quite a few who have been applying to big D since 2007 and are expecting to wait until 2015 or so, however, if you stay positive and focused on your mission, eventually it will happen. Remember, you have until 65 to make the big bucks.
