The top of my list is AA being a Dallas native but it's hard to say what will be competitive there and how long it will be before street hiring resumes.

Its not difficult at all if you have been flying turbine equipment. Things that will however get looked at our your degree and performance in college. Jobs you have held since then and any leadership positions you might have held. SWA may be the highest paid now but they got their by accident and neither the company or SWAPA want them to stay there. In the next 10 years the historical pay differences will realign. SWAPA is very aware of what the loss of a portion of SWA historical cost advantage has been to the bottom half of the seniority list there. That is why they have not made a single attempt at any significant boost in wages from what they achieved off the majors contracts before they all filed for Chapter 11. They have had multiple opportunity to attempt to do so.

I'm kind of curious what kind of 135 TPIC we're talking about. Caravan, BE99, Metroliner, Learjet, BBJ? Single pilot or crew?
Ahem. By the original poster's screenname I'm gonna take a stab and say it's multi-crew jet. From that background I'd guess he has a decent chance. But as an aside, has Delta really hired anyone from the Pt 135 single-pilot BE99/1900/SA227 freight dogging world in the last few cycles? Find it hard to believe you could compete with all the multi-crew 121 environment regional captains of the world, although Carl repeatedly insists there are a bajillion ways to Delta that don't undermine the profession. Senior widebody Captain cluelessness, or is there something to it?

135 to DAL
I'm in the same boat. TT=3500. TPIC=600.
I'm building TPIC at the rate of 200 hours per year but it's a sketchy fly by night 135 operation (ie violation or smoking hole is inevitable).
I'm leaving for somewhere else, any suggestions on where to go next in order to get to DAL?

Thankfully, we have ALPA making sure that the Delta pilots are never confronted with that terrible dilemma.
