According to the latest APC numbers there are 44,235 pilots employed by the legacy airlines. Add Southwest, FedEx and UPS into the mix and you get 60,809. According to the FAA, at the end of 2017 there were 159,825 active ATP licenses. 38% of all active ATPs are employed by the above named airlines. Were not talking about some super exclusive club here.

You have no chance at Delta and I assume UAL and AA
Keep flying dog **** around the pacific rim and enjoy your commute
But boy any time you see a Delta 330/350 you would wished you were home MSP and work 10 days per month for 275k most likely 3rd compensation pay as a FO

..For some of us, it is not about the money, it is about the quality of life..
..Not everybody wants to work for Delta..

..Sniper, maybe you should go out there yourself and see how a QUALITY airline operates..Choose your days off, and enjoy the business-class ride home and back..

Delta is a completely different environment. A unionized airline where I'm a citizen of my own country flying for my own airline with full rights. I see my family much more, fly better schedules, eat and live healthier, sleep way better and make more money. Yes, this can change overnight and this career is extremely unpredictable, but for now, I'm very happy to have made the move back to US and be working for a legacy.
To each his own, but I assure you, it was not easy to get here and for anyone to say "yes I can get an interview tomorrow at Delta", is completely out of touch with reality. It's a very competitive process and an internal recommendation is just a fraction of the overall hiring process. You have to form part of the Delta mold and that's what they are trying to figure out from your app - if you'll fit in with the corporate culture.

I can aver, a number of colleagues Ive flown with, overseas, are currently with DAL. Fit the DAL mold? Heck... all non corned beef on white bread with mayo types. Fun guys and gals to fly with. But then again, its supply and demand. I guess DAL has to... they can fit the preverbal square peg into the round hole.
Some are of the same paradigm about SW, AA, UAL, Fed Ex, UPS. Go figure.

Some may be in agreement and disagree with your opinion that its tough to get an interview at DAL.

As per DALPA
23 pilots directly from overseas got hired by Delta since 8/2012 out of 4324 new hires.
You do have a chance and I know you can get an interview when ever you want ..sure
Again directly from not the ones stopovers at JB Spirit etc no record kept from them

Puts things in perspective doesn't it?
I flew with a newhire on the 717 last year. Came from the right seat of an Emirates 777. He seemed extremely happy with his choice.
