Quote: Not exactly sure if this is the best place for this question but I want to ask to get ideas from current Delta Pilots or anyone who was just hired.
I am an FO at an American WO and have been here for a little under a year. I am 21 with a R-ATP until I’m 23. Not because of hours/flight time, but just because of age. I have roughly a year and some change before I’ll be 23, and I know that most legacies want 23 and Unrestricted ATP. I have a 4 year degree and no checkride/company failures.
My question is when is a good time to start putting my application out at Delta? I’m trying to be on top of the game if I were to get a call as an FO, and get an idea so I really appreciate it.
If you’re at a wholly owned regional, I expect you will have a path to the major that owns your company within the next 3 years. That said, someone will get Delta jobs off the street. You might as well hedge your bets. It’s never too early but if the music stops and the chairs are full it could be too late.
