Of course, many of those guys got furloughed for years, but you get the idea.

I know a lot of my friends from the Air Force that did other 121 gigs before Delta. I don't think these numbers tell the real story.

I believe you still fall in the Military category. I think your category is really based on how/where you started your training. I would think that a guy who separated from the service in 07, got stuck in a regional for 7 years due to timing, economy, recency, etc... Would still be considered Military at Delta since that is where your early career training occurred.

I don't think there is a magic number. I just got hired with 2,800 total (almost all PIC and all of it multi- turbine); however I was one of the low time guys of the 10 in my interview class hired.

Thanks!

I think you'll be in the sweet spot for hours. I got a DAL CJO last week with 3150 Total, 1850 PIC. (All Mil)
