What about general aviation aircraft used during your initial PPL training that you were never employed to fly?

I grouped all my GA SEL and GA MEL into one entry each. In the model column I listed MEL (i.e. PA23, PA44) and for SEL (C152, C182, ZLIN) In the DESCR column I put SEL and MEL. I did not make an entry for each model flown.

ULTRARUNNER,
Just a shot in the dark because I've certainly not yet cracked the code on getting an interview; but.... Maybe double check all your hours in types, category, etc and make sure you didn't fat-finger an extra digit somewhere. Another thought...you may want to double check all your dates to make sure the years are correct. Is it possible you accidentally have overlapping dates in different types? You have probably thought of this stuff; but, I thought I'd try to help.

For example, I had listed an aircraft that I had flown in a job that ended in 2001, but at the same time had listed the last time I had flown that type, several years earlier, at a previous job. Two instances of that typo...
Should be all fixed now....

According to the "Derg" on JC, Delta wants applicants that volunteer with outside activities, not with the best aviation qualifications.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, it seems that "the key" is volunteerism. The people that I know who were hired that weren't part of the "flow", SSP or "I threw footballs at the USAFA" were h e a v i l y into volunteerism.
Do I like the system the powers that be have set up, absolutely a discussion for "Story Time with Uncle Derg" because I certainly have strong opinions about parts of the process, but it is what it is and you don't have to like it, but if you want the job you have to hold your nose and deal with it.
I gather they're looking for people who are going to be "more than pilots". Hell, even I'm in the ambassador program (doing a trade show next week!) and I'm at the point in my career where I could be resting on my laurels. They want sharp, motivated people and you can't swing a dead cat and smack fifty of them so their discriminator, right now, seems to be those that are volunteers.
I didn't do it. I'm just giving you a peek into the box.
