I know guys who do interview prep courses and I know guys who do interviews at Delta. Both will agree with horsepilot that the quickest route to a major these days in through RJ flying. I don't know the numbers, but I'd bet less than 1% of pilots hired at majors come from places other than the military and RJ operators. I personally don't know any that came from freight or non-sched operators and I only know 1 that was prior corporate.

I have also never heard of anyone who went to fly an RJ so they could get super prepared for the military, not saying it hasn't happned, but I've certainly never heard of it.
