Received DAL invite email on 16 DEC 2014

Arnie Kraby said indoc should be sometime in April, and confirmed that Delta would be hiring ~1000 this year. I had initially held back on submitting because I was concerned about my recency (0 hrs in past 2 years thanks to non-flying staff job), but luckily someone talked me into it. My .02 is better to submit and then update, vs waiting until it's perfect. Good luck!
