I heard from Arnie Kraby as well, ask a friend at a job fair. He said "you didn't do that online program did you?" So obviously the online degree program is not looked at as a good degree from Arnie's perspective. I guess they rank the schools by tiers and the determines your overall school as well. So if your buddy did online and has had a a lot of jobs, that could bring his overall score down.

Apparently that's not the whole truth at this day and age.

It resets in January, but they will likely hold back another 90 days. So it won't start filling new hire classes until April most likely.

No internal recs. Nothing really that set me apart except Masters degree. Just an average RJ pilot. No military.
If someone knew exactly what they are looking for they would be filthy rich. Just do the best that you can and work hard. Your chance will come.
Any degree count. Of course, a Georgetown degree is years better than University of Phoenix, but online degrees are not looked down upon.
Also, for those interviewing soon, the majority of the 3 and 4 star hotels around the airport have complimentary shuttle to Delta Headquarters. You dont need to stay at the Hilton to avoid a cab or rental car. Im staying at a 4 star for 1/2 of what Hilton was charging.
