Start figuring out other more creative ways to get yourself an interview. I worked my freaking ass off to be here, I get sick of listening to the cry babies.
Just out of curiosity, what did you think AK would say? Even if Delta did have to meet a quota, the last thing the guy in charge of hiring would say is you are here because we have to fill a block.
You have to ride along for observation rides once you get out of training. I had a guy on my jumpseat that was 24 years old just out of IOE and had a familiar last name. I asked him if his dad was so and so and he immediately went into a rant about being qualified for the job. Fact of the matter is he got hired right at the mins, which is not unusual for fighter guys, but not usual for civilian only.
The point of this is "No one cares what you did before you walked through that door to training except your mother"
