Congrats!
Same here, fingers crossed for the rest of us!

Default 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

Being a Sq/CC or higher makes a difference? Thx-

Your app will get looked at regardless of your flight time. However the hiring people have previously stated they want you to be current (100hrs in last 12 months). I know of people who weren't quite there getting the call to interview. Make sure your application is spotless and do the best you can to get that 100 hrs per year.

Not to discount others, I am personally aware of several military pilots that were in similar situations and have been hired within the past two years.

Not so competitive 2 years ago. Very competitive today.

Colonel friend of mine did a year at a Regional before getting on at SWA. He was retiring out of a staff job.

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.

Does Delta send out a TBNT email if they view your app and don't want you or is it just endless crickets?
