As others have mentioned getting a Delta pilot to submit an internal Rec (which is different than the one attached to airline apps) will guarantee your app gets pulled and scored within 30 days, but then the timeline gets cloudy...some folks have internals submitted and get invited for interview a month of two later...others wait years. Some never get invited...pilot hiring works in mysterious ways.
Good luck!
One of the things that cannot be emphasized enough is that you really need to make sure that your application is flawless (from an admin standpoint). The reason is that manual scoring by a person means that as they look at a ton of applications, if they have 6-9 applications that are all approximately equal from a numbers standpoint, but you have minor errors (changes in address format in your address history, overlaps in work history, or other minor queep), then that application doesn’t make the cut and gets set aside for a year before it can be scored again.
