Congrats! Did you get your 737 type in the military? Or did you get it for Southwest? Were you asked about it at the interview?

DAL
Published ap: ~ 30 Mar 15
Interview invite: 15 Jul 15
Interviewed: 29 Sep 15
Hired: 30 Sep 15
TT: 5,341
PIC: 4,151
IP: 3,207
Turbine: 5,270
ME: 2,582
Was told to not expect a call until ~ 2nd quarter 2016.
SUPER friendly people at DAL. If you get the interview invite they really DO want to hire you.
Initially I was a little concerned because I hadn't flown a heavy in 14 years (T-6s for a very, VERY long time). Also was very nervous about number of driving tickets but I listed them all and still got hired. Bachelor's only (even had 2 F's on my Master's transcript, which, as I said, I did not finish....they did ask about it but I explained why it happened and they were satisfied). Again, they excel at putting you at ease so don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Advice: focus more on Delta's "what to study" sheet for the aviation knowledge test than the gouge; out of 60 questions I think I saw maybe 10 that came directly from the gouge. Practice any way you can on the cog skills; the multi-tasking "same/different" with the moving glideslope one is tricky (but doable), the "guess the rule" with the arrows and borders was fricking hard at first (seemed like everything I tried got the dreaded "bee-boop" and there is NOT much time to sit there and contemplate what to try next) and the multi-tasking sliding bar and "same/different" test about killed me....MUCH harder than I thought because I couldn't get a consistent L/R tap rhythm like I hoped.
Good luck to everyone! :-)
