I'm not familiar with "OER" do you mean OSR? And FITREPS are held by the military right, I mean I guess they could ask him to bring them to the interview...but aside from a DD-214 I don't think that they can ask him for those legally....right??? I'm totally not an expert, I just thought I had heard that before.
IMO, I think that if you can get some solid recs (internal is best) and you meet the mins, I think you should be fine for having lower hours. From what I've heard from guys who have gotten their tickets punched, it is important to be yourself, be honest and let your experience speak for itself. Good luck!
I was a Coast Guard puke. OER (Officer Evaluation Reports) were our evaluations that were used by the promotion board to promote to the next rank. I thought you guys in the Navy used the same thing and the USAF used FITREPS.
Either way, Delta requires that ALL of your evaluations from whatever branch you were in, from O-1 on up, to be submitted as part of the interview process. If you don't want to submit those documents, then you don't want to be a Delta pilot. I don't know about other airlines or the legality of requesting the information..but they don't have any legal obligation to hire someone who won't disclose their previous work history.
Anyway, I think non-selection for O-4 would be more of an obstacle than failure to make section lead based on tour length, ect.
