Maybe it was necessary 10-30 years ago to get the points to get an interview. So the argument can’t be made they lowered their standards if it was never a requirement to begin with.

The process is getting a trigger to get your app scored, where two from the hiring department sit down with your app, and give you a score based on whether you meet the motivation required to be a Delta pilot. So in other words there are no real requirements other than the minimums to apply.

1 class in Dec
2 classes in Jan
3 classes in Feb
Not sure on the sizes.

So the classes in Feb could be 2 classes of 20, and then a class of 40.

On the last AE, there were plenty of unfilled slots on the 73N in SLC and LAX that could go to new hires. I’d expect some of those to pop up in class. If you can’t get those due to a poor SSN, then I’d take 73N NYC if it’s offered and then transfer west on next AE.
If you can’t hold 73N, I’d bid anything besides the 717 and cross my fingers for vacancies out west on the next AE.
Hope this helps

I can tell you that some new hires in the past year did get SEA, but there would have to be another AE with vacancies that went unfilled for that to happen again. LAX and SLC if you can't get them in class it won't be horribly long. If it's the right equipment less than a year, if not, you can bid out of your seat lock after a year if the base you are bidding to doesn't have the equipment you're on.
