I've had clients hired with less total time. They were sharp people and every single one of them earned the position. Many have been planning for their interview for years. They went to career fairs, networked, and constantly improved themselves professionally and personally.

You don't need TPIC to get hired at Delta. Delta and other airlines are looking at the entire package. They are looking for the "well rounded individuals."

It is not always about who you are as a pilot. It is also about who you are as a person. Good luck to everyone!
