I have an application into Delta and I am wondering how I should handle the disclosure of my side business. I have been at a regional for 14 years (captain) and have a side business I actively participate in during my time off - necessary in order to survive financially and the reason I have very few extra activities in aviation and community.

Do you think Delta would find my non-aviation side business a positive or negative? I fully intend to shut it down immediately if I ever am offered a position at Delta.

Should I highlight the fact that I've been an owner of my own software company for 21 years (1-2 employees) or should I downplay it since it might be viewed as a distraction to my aviation career?
