A rec. from a college professor or a Chief instructor (if you are a civi) will go a long way as well.
Also maybe a career fair will help.
Good luck and I am sure you'll get your shot!
An internal memo stated the the majority of new hires had graduate degrees and according to the latest seniority list it looks like the average age of new hires is in the 35-40 year old range. Also, at Delta it seems like 1/2 the new hire slots go to military pilots. After flows and military it's a long shot for getting called in no matter what your background is. Hang in there and keep trying.
