I heard you should update your app after every leg, that's what smart phones and tablets are for!
(full disclosure, I must have sent about 10 apps in the 4 years Delta was not hiring, 1981-85, all 6 pages, typed on an IBM Selectrick, no spell checker, and when I finally got an interview, the app the guy was looking at was 3 years old!)

Who told you that? For apps that don't even meet the minimum? If it wasn't from AK and his team directly, I'd have to seriously discount that advice. I may be wrong, but I think that would annoy the people scoring the apps. Next time I'm at work, maybe I'll ask around about this c

Meeting the minimums are implied- it's kinda pointless to apply if you don't.
It doesn't make sense that they'd see your application every time you update it. It sounds like they only pull your application to score it after a triggering event, or yours comes out as matching a search criteria (depending on the company).

Is this a recent change? I seem to recall only apps that were pulled for scoring actually had human eyes on them. Apps could get pulled by meeting an undisclosed filter or by internal recommendation sent to the appropriate pilot hiring email address.

Well it was 1975 before I finally received my BS and was a viable applicant. Delta had not hired since 1973 and would not before October of '76 which is the class I was fortunate enough to be selected for. The whole time between that first application and when I interviewed updated my application quarterly (typically sent to the VP Flt OPS....Snake). They used the first application as a cover jacket for all the updates and by the time I got to the interview it was between 3 & 4 inches thick. They got it out and it kind of spilled out on the desk and the interviewer said "wow you sure have been persistent". I was 27 years old and started on 10/18/76.
On a different subject I've been reading your posts in various threads about retirement restoration in the current negotiations. Since I only receive $300 per month instead of the $8K I should be getting I want you to know you have a cheerleader cheering enthusiastically for your efforts from the outside.
