Got the DAL CJO a few days ago 
Early-retired MIL (Dec14)- ATP, CFI
C-130 & T-1 background
3579 TT (no conversion), 1702 sorties
1956 PIC
1021 IP
2 internal Delta recs
Clicked submit on AirlineApps on 29 OCT 2014
Received DAL invite email on 16 DEC 2014
Arnie Kraby said indoc should be sometime in April, and confirmed that Delta would be hiring ~1000 this year. I had initially held back on submitting because I was concerned about my recency (0 hrs in past 2 years thanks to non-flying staff job), but luckily someone talked me into it. My .02 is better to submit and then update, vs waiting until it's perfect. Good luck!

Holy cow that is awesome. Didn't even know it was possible at DAL. You just gave a lot of people hope. Congrats.

Looking for insight from anyone with experience regarding the following. How do DAL or UAL view Union positions, namely Steward positions? I truly believe they should be viewed favorably as they are positions of Leadership geared toward ensuring contract compliance and overall safety. They also typically take workload off of Management by fielding issues that would otherwise be directed toward various departments within the airline. However, the topic of Unions can be volatile these days and those in the interviewer seats come from various positions within a given Company.
Again, any insight from those having experience with either hiring for these Company's or having held such a position and either been hired or passed over would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I talked to a Delta Captain yesterday in Houston. I just walked up and introduced myself.
He told me that right now, they are only looking at folks with at least a 3.5 GPA in college.
Can any any other Delta Airlines folks on here substantiate that?
Thanks

That's not correct on GPA and from what I have seen Delta views Union service as a positive. Lots of former RJ new hires did Union work.

I know at least one guy with a sub-3.0 who was just hired.

The average line pilot/check airman knows about as much about the hiring process as my dog. They will regurgitate rumors that they have heard. HR keeps a lock on that stuff for liability reasons.
Heck, here at Trailways, the guys that do interviews on the hiring team don't even know when we will be hiring.
Anybody who tells you anything other than what is listed in black and white online or told face to face to someone by HR is guessing.
I think a more accurate statement would be "Delta places a premium on formal education. The better you have performed, the more likely you are to get an interview."
