But yes, network. An internal rec will get your application looked at, so make sure your timing of the internal recommendation is right and your application is perfect. Pulling that trigger too early (incomplete app, outside 60 days from your availability date) might result in your app going back in the stack.
And as I keep telling folks, there are unicorns among us. . . but I wouldn't hedge my bets on this technique.

LinkedIn is awesome for this. You need to connect with lots of people though to really leverage your networking. Start with guys in your current squadron, friends, relatives and then start looking at the suggestions given by LinkedIn. It's amazing how quickly you'll start seeing old coworkers that are now airline pilots.

I know that I fully welcome hearing from old buds, and helping folks out is really the only reason I keep the account open, now that I have my airline job.

PS (4fans) don't limit yourself to just Delta, apply to all the majors and get a bird in hand if you can.

Got hired by ExpressJet in Oct 2013, took two tries with DAL, latest in March this year. Retired 3 years ago, with a staff job the last 4 1/2 years on active duty...
