You don't need US 121 time specifically, foriegn equivalent should work. Military/91/135 can get hired without 121 time.
It's true that DAL specifically seems to prefer airline experience in civilian hires, but plenty of other airlines are more welcoming.
Now if you're talking about being a 121 PIC, yes you need US 121 experience first, foriegn experience will not count, even "121 equivalent".
