Thanks in advance.
Search DeltaNet for this phrase:

How do I recommend someone for a Delta Pilot position

The PDF that you'll find has the email address as well as the instructions for what you're asking about.

Also, I've been told several times, all this process is for is to verfiy the recommender is a Delta pilot. So, the email can be as simple as "I recommend this candidate." Or, simply copy and paste the recommendation you write them in their AirlineApps account. I see no reason to write different recommendations for two different methods of recommending.

Is it true apps are only scored once a year?

Just watched the latest AEdA. 5000+ new pilots in the next 5 years. "I have no doubt that some day we may be flying the 787 as well."

I went to the career expo in October, received a "fix it" e-mail 2 months later, but nothing since then. A few other people I know that went to the expo haven't heard anything, but no interview invites. I'm sure there are a few that got invites from attending the expo, but it hasn't been as overwhelming as I thought it would be from going to the career expo. Seems to me they are still picking up Mil guys pretty quick and at a much greater number than 121 guys.

Skyteam already flies them. Saw an AeroMexico 787 in JFK with an "N" number. How does that happen?

To me, the college degree requirement is all about having standards. Can you fly a plane without a degree? Sure. Are you a better, well rounded person if you get a college degree? Absolutely. Does it show the hiring team that you have the ability to take on a major effort and succeed? Absolutely.

Unless you're a self made genius who dropped out of school to start your own billion dollar company, then you are better off getting your 4 year college degree, and fortunately the hiring teams at major airlines agree.

There will never be a shortage of pilots at the majors. I don't ever see the 4 year degree requirement being dropped at a top tier major airline, and that is a good thing.
