I think Delta has that too... 500 hours unless they have done away with that requirement.... to lazy to look it up.

I once flew with an Express Captain who was still bitter because he was a PAN AM professional engineer that came over to Delta and when the union negotiated them spots on the pilot list if they had the credentials, went out on a LOA to get his tickets then came to Delta and had to fly 500 hrs as copilot before bidding captain. I was too new to fully care, but somehow he thought he had been wronged in the whole transaction.

Why would you bid a junior captain spot on a crappy airplane at a major? Ain't nobody looking for PIC time anymore.

You guys are saying there's no issue at all with someone with no time in type being the Captain, fine. I wouldn't want my family on that plane.

So getting into an argument with the Company Psychologist wasn't the best idea?

Edited to say "it seems United is hiring a lot of straight civilians, takes a lot as a civilian at DAL right now"

Last time I checked, the Delta new hire demographics roughly:

50% Military-only experience
25% Civilian-only experience
25% Military and Civilian combo experience

TEN
