I have a high last 4 which should give a decent pick.
There are a lot of gaps from 2000 to 2016 in Delta's hiring. M88/717 NYC should give you the quickest upgrade. That said, the 2014 upgrades come from early 2014 and Delta has probably hired 1500+ since then. If everything holds true, 85% on the overall list seems to be where you can securely hold NYC CA.
Like they say past returns don't equal future ones. I bet the 2000 320 CA drops as the list keeps moving. Remember the junior Delta CA jumped from 2010 to 2014 because there was barely anyone hired in that time frame. A person hired in early 2014 will have less of a wait to upgrade than someone hired in early 2015 and especially early 2016.
It's best to see what % on the list holds CA and plan on getting to that number.
