So I've had to prioritize and just put the majority in the PIC block, making my number of instructor hours incorrect. I figure it's an easy explanation but was curious if anyone has knowledge as to what's valued more at Delta or how they like to see it.

On the bottom of the "Review Totals" page it tells you how they calculate PIC time (PIC=PIC+INSTRUCTOR). They want you to break out your instructor/IP time separately from "regular" PIC but when they pull an app based on PIC time, it all shows up there. So depending on how you logged the times you were an instructor, your totals on Airline Apps may not match your logbook but it ALL counts as PIC time.
Long and the short of it: you are better off putting time as the instructor and PIC in the "instructor" column. I would imagine instructor time is viewed as slightly more valuable than "regular PIC" and it's all counted as PIC anyway.
