Recency requirements
 

100 hours in the last year is often mentioned as a soft minimum, but nothing written in stone. Getting into an active flying job would likely help immensely.

Second this, if you go to a regional like Endeavor you will get the time you need quickly. Seems that a lot of military pilots are cycling through the regionals getting current and hired right away.

Thanks for the input. This seems to jive with what I’m hearing on the rumor-mill in the squadron. Which Regional is best to flow to DAL?

I refused to sign the PIT ADSC. They still sent me but no commitment. Not sure where you are in this timeline, but I'd apply and see what happens then disenroll if I get a call.

Submit the apps to the majors and let them be the judge. I retired after 20yrs in the AF in 2017 with around 70hrs in the previous year and ~2300TT. I was prepared and half expected to spend time with the regionals but it wasn’t necessary. I got interview calls from each of the majors I applied to. If you don’t ask for the job the answer is always no!

Delta does not have “flow” with any regional.

They do have Delta Guaranteed Interview (DGI) with Endeavor. Once you hit 18 months as a Capt you get to interview.

As a Mil guy, you won’t be around long enough for the DGI to matter.

Get hired somewhere ASAP, get your 100hours, and keep that app updated!

As already stated, there is no flow just a guaranteed interview but you won't be around long enough for that. Which regional probably doesn't matter, Endeavor might care less if you leave right away to Delta since they are a wholly owned, but that won't matter to you anymore as long as you make that jump in the first place. Pick whatever regional is easiest for you to commute to or offers you the quickest class date.

I'm going to add that I'm just going on the presumption that you have someone already who will get your app pulled for scoring internally.

Correct. I'm good friends with at least 4 Delta guys who'll make the internal recommendation. For context, I worked for Delta in college in SLC, and vowed to come back into the cockpit post mil career. All of your comments are highly encouraging- thank you.
