Then they just had to accomplish a quick recurrent style training event and they were off to the 787.
They trained more SLI's and first LCP's in the small group trials 1.5 years after they were trained in TLS while still working their other jobs
I think the line pilots were never back and forth, however.

Just keep prepping and studying and asking questions and you'll be fine. I will say my anecdotal evidence says your fail rate is unquestionably higher if you don't prep

Degree still a requirement
Does Delta still require a degree as a prerequisite for getting hired? Also, will they hire a pilot over 50 years of age? I am busy completing my degree with Embry-Riddle online but will be 53 or 54 when I complete it.
I have more than enough experience with over 21 years flying for a foreign airline and over 17000 hours. Do I apply now or wait for the degree?

Yes, will absolutely hire pilots over 50.
With all due respect to your experience I don't think they would invite to interview w/o the degree, but picturing myself in your situation, I would still fill the application out and update every 6 months.
Best of luck!!
