It's actually a slap in the face to Delta to imply that networking is the key to your dream job. Delta is a world renowned company and to think they just hire you because your their neighbor is an insult. They have a process and some don't like it but the truth is, it's a very fair process. I would be upset if Delta was hiring just anybody because they networked which doesn't seem like a fair process. Please don't say networking is the way to an interview because it's not!
