I just spoke to my fat thumbs and by "tho" they did in fact mean type ratings. Also looked up on the FB page and found the post. It does say all ratings EXCEPT type ratings. So I'll be removing those tonight.

No idea on how much they are backed up waiting for class with cjo, but I think it’s safe to say we will be have 70+ in class per month starting in January and going throughout the year.

If, however, it contradicts specific instructions on the application, I'd personally follow the directions on the app. Not only are the applications generic, they also change over time. The FB post may be 'outdated information' and by NOT following the directions on the application (if spelled out) you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Just my opinion regarding following directions and attention-to-detail, both of which most airlines value.

My original post was pertaining that I thought it was odd that such a highly regarded application review and interview prep service such as Checked and Set had told me to I should list my type ratings when the Delta page said not to.
