Concur with GSSTEP. It's hard to wait. Did Emerald coast with GSSTEP in panama (I think there were 3 Marines in a room of 50 folks
). I did gov't contract work on a King Air 350 for a few months in west Africa after getting off active duty to get my multi time, get a type rating, stay current, and get some decent money too. It was hard work, but worth the sacrifice. Just a plug for contract work, but every dude I know who wanted Delta and worked for L3 or CAT got hired, my $.02 as well.
Get as many internal recs as possible. I also understand that DeltaNet now has a link that active pilots can click on and recommend an applicant, which is supposed to trigger a review. If you know someone inside, might be worth asking the question; a good buddy of mine said one of the instructors showed them how to do it during indoc.
App published sept '13
Left active duty jun '14
Fix it email jul '14 (high school GPA)
Invite to interview 11 Nov
CJO 10 Dec
Keep the positive mental attitude and even if you don't have the invite, start preparing because an invite is inevitable.

Also, what did you have for internal recs? Based on what I've seen on this forum, that is a really quick call after application for 2000 p-3 hours. That seems more like fighter hours territory.

JDF16: Availability was 01Mar15 when I hit send on the apps, as that's the earliest possible day I could go terminal. I updated it to actual after the interview date was set.
4fans: 2x internal recs from FOs. 1 has been flying there 7 yrs or so, the other is a new hire just off probation. Both were very nicely written. I had few more on standby but didn't need them so didn't pull the trigger. Gouge was that an internal rec triggers an immediate review of the app, so I was saving the last few for closer to the actual terminal leave date.

Projections on when I might be competitive enough to have a shot at a Major?
6100 TT
5200 Turbine
1800 Jet
1850 Turbine PIC (About 80 of that is Jet PIC)
4 Year degree
Two turboprop types
Three biz jet types
91 / 135 pax and cargo/ and Fractional Experience
I had slacked off on updating my apps because I thought I was going to hang a hat at the fractionals but that idea has passed. I will be updating frequently at this point.

You're competitive now. Unfortunately there is more than 5000 guys, minimum, that are also competitive.
