They can't have half the pilot group all retiring within a couple years of each other.

With that said, with all things being equal, the line check airman with 1500 TPIC and a Masters degree will get the call before the Foursquare Mayor of the Fort Wayne Best Western with 10,000 hours of CRJ left seat time.

Guys
The only bottom line for Delta pilot hiring...are you qualified (meet the mins), are you professional in your manner and your appearance, and "would I want to fly a four-day with you?, e.g., are you normal and a good guy/gal. High time, low time, military, civilian, etc, are sorta the icing. If Delta interviews you, you are nominally hired unless you blow it. Don't blow it.
