As others have stated, you may have to consider going to a regional or elsewhere for a few months to get the currency and the hours. However, having said that, if DAL is your only choice, it is a gamble as to whether you will get a call or not, and if you do, get an offer.

Congrats!

Flying recency
Hoping for some advice. Am a current military pilot with about 3700 hrs total jet time, but haven't "flown the line" since 2010. I have been flying for the last two years, but essentially as an additional duty and only logging 30-40 hrs per year. Thoughts on competitiveness? Thanks!

Not very. Need 100 hours in the last year for your app to get looked at unless you are a sq/cc or higher

I have about the same hours as you, but am current (retiring now), and I got a fix it email. So, don't screw up something small like I did and blow your chance.
You may need to do a bit at a regional to get the call, but definitely have the apps in.
For what it's worth, I'm starting at Endeavor in June. Hopefully it'll be a short stay. We shall see.
