BA of just 2.5 (used college for fun instead of actually focusing on it), two graduate certificates with 3.4 and 3.2, little volunteer time so far. No criminal charges, a couple diving infractions from over 10 years ago.

I haven't seen any mention of rotor wing folks with Delta.
The trend seems to be hiring younger lately.
When it comes to apps and getting "fix it" emails, are they looking for exact dates on jobs (to the day), residency, etc, or is the month good enough?

I have seen a couple regionals that Delta is known to hire from and a few they don't hire from. Just starting out soon, is there anything you would recommend as far as career progression? Some sort of a do and don't list? Or any advice in general?

I certainly don't mind putting in my time and paying my dues to get there, just don't know they right path to take along the way.

Thanks
Taco,
38 is still pretty young. I wasn't hired until I was 42!
Can't say about the rotor wing time, but I believe there's one or two former rotor guys at Delta that peruse this board.
As far as "fix it" e-mails, I'd make sure the dates (months) touch. For example:
Jan 2011-Apr 2012 - Asstant Fry Chef, Burger King
Apr 2012-Nov 2013 - Lead Burger Flipper, Burger King
Nov 2013-Jan 2013 - Unemployed
Jan 2013 - Present...

Apparently, the app reviewers don't like any holes in the timeline.

Good luck!
