As for the masters degree, I think its pretty much not even looked at. Practically every air force pilot at the rank of major and above has one now. My Arizona State MBA is not scoring me any points. Ive even considered removing it from my application. At job fairs they gloss over the education part and go straight to IP/EP/Check Airman experience.

Isn't the ACLU more the reason that current industries like aviation are overly diverse on every characteristic EXCEPT being the best pilot for the job?

Diversity can be a loaded term.
A side question on education, I have technical degrees and decent GPAs, but why in the world would Delta care how I did in school 20 years ago?

next year is when I think the bottleneck finally clears up. I think everyone with pic is eventually gonna get hired. The key here is understanding that it takes time. The best thing you can have out there is ip/ep/chk amn. The 2nd best is TPIC. And of course, a strong connection, job fair, meeting a chief pilot, etc, is the trump card.
i think its fair to say we can be optimistic about the future. It looks bright!

Here's to hoping we all get our shot in the next year or so.
- Lowly regional CA w/check airman and nothing but crickets! Ha!

Hired from a Delta feeder to USAirways April 2013.
12 Years 121 EXP, CRJ type ride with in the year, 4 year non aviation degree, 6000+Hrs. 0 letters of Rec.
Highly recommend Emerald Coast Consulting.
After a dozen year at the regional it was well worth the Fee and time to have these guys prep me. Even if you just get the audio tapes it will be a tremendous help getting you ready. Getting the interview is the hard part.
The interviewers want to hire you make it easy on them by being well rehearsed with plenty of tell me a time that , what would you do if answers ready to go.

Stop it with the women and minorities crap
You guys, Delta does not hire pilots on any type of quota. Period. We were told that the day of our interview by AK himself. We were at that interview table because we were qualified, for no other reason. So stop it with the B'ing and moaning about being a female or minority in the ranks at Delta. Start figuring out other more creative ways to get yourself an interview. I worked my freaking ass off to be here, I get sick of listening to the cry babies.
