Didn't go to the WAI conference but I asked the exact same question to Capt Kraby and here's what he sent me:
"
Delta does not have an absolute number regarding recency but, in general, we use 100 hours of turbine time in the past 12 months as a yardstick. However, since many military pilots, especially those approaching retirement, are not in flying billets we take a very lenient approach towards this recency requirement IF the military pilot has previously logged a sufficient number of flight hours. However, if this lack of recency extends beyond 2-3 years then we suggest that the pilot regain his or her recency either in another military flying billet or with a regional airline prior to being considered by Delta.
Best regards,
Arnie"
