No extra points are given. Your application is what gets you the interview. Other airlines give points but delta does not. From what I was told, by going to a job fair it will get your application pulled and reviewed. By no means will it get you the interview but it will get your app looked at which could lead to an interview if your app is competitive. I have met everyone under the sun and been to two job fairs now but my app is not as competitive as those being called right now.
I was told they have around 7,000 applications and about 40% of them are military which is where most of the interviews are being offered. They told me that they are only hiring pilots with TPIC as well. I have heard a few guys that don't have TPIC time but it's rare and they have something big on their app to offset not having TPIC time. They want to hire 100 a month but training can only handle 85 a month for now. The flows from compass are done for the year so that should mean a lot more hiring from OTS.
