I've always assumed that because I don't have recent time right now, I am not competitive for a job with Delta. I'm assuming I'll need to fly with a commuter to get recent time.
Is there anyone here who can shed any additional insight into this for me? Should I go ahead and submit an app for Delta anyway and just update it once I have a few hundred hours of recent time?
Thanks!
This is just my observation. Of all my buds (including myself) that have separated/retired from a staff non flying job and have not flown in the last 2-3 years, nothing but crickets. The majority of us are interviewing and being hired by the regionals to get that 100-200 hours, or more. All in the hopes, that this time next year we will get the call/email. There are exceptions as always, just mentioning the trend that I have seen. Good Luck.
