If someone knew exactly what they are looking for they would be filthy rich. Just do the best that you can and work hard. Your chance will come.
Any degree count. Of course, a Georgetown degree is years better than University of Phoenix, but online degrees are not looked down upon.
Also, for those interviewing soon, the majority of the 3 and 4 star hotels around the airport have complimentary shuttle to Delta Headquarters. You dont need to stay at the Hilton to avoid a cab or rental car. Im staying at a 4 star for 1/2 of what Hilton was charging.
All of the hotels will take you to the training center...you're right. However, don't wait until 0730 to grab the shuttle that just left for the airport, or that is going to the airport first. Then you end up busting your butt to get down there in time to wait at the guard shack (with pit stains now) to get your visitor pass with the 30 flight attendants doing the same thing. Just leave early enough to give yourself time to get a cup of joe over at the cafe. I saw a guy last week that was obviously late for something at 0800 and looked rather panicked at the guard shack. He looked like an interviewee, but his tie was blue, so maybe not. Anyway, don't be him.
