I dont have details on all. I know in my group we were all current/former military (AF and Navy), mix of heavy and fighter backgrounds, fairly drastic spread of hours (low and high).

My overall feel was that once you get the interview, it doesnt matter what your background is. However, the age old puzzle of how you get picked for an interview continues to elude me. It seems like most of the folks I spoke with this week either had internal recs or family ties to Delta. I have seen folks post that the rec letters don't help till the interview, but they didnt even look or talk about mine in the interview.

FWIW, I had 6 rec letters from Delta pilots, but none were Captains, line check guys, or anything. All FOs that I had flown with in the past 5-6 years. I think that helped me get looked at much earlier than I would have.
