I think when Delta last hired they had something like 10,000 applications on file and only a couple hundred were actually hired. So in terms of a ratio of applicants to hires it was approximately 50:1.
I have no inside information, but I seriously doubt that ratio will be skewed significantly during this hiring cycle. I certainly encourage people to apply and to update their applications, but statistically speaking, the hiring process is very selective.
Good Luck to all!

Better, yes. But unfortunately still not correct...

The reason the regionals are taking concessionarry contracts is the fact that management has figured out how to whipsaw them against each other and a certain percentage of the pilots are willing to play along and throw anyone under the bus to get that shiney new RJ.
Now, not in BK and making a profit, new methods have come about. And to echo BB's thoughts for a third time in this thread, bad for the profession.

If the Delta test is the same, it's the very difficult segmented circle type instead of the ol' 20/20 D E F P O T E C. I was testing 20/10 back then and could not pass it without the nurse asking "are you sure it isn't XXX ?" about four times.
If you need glasses, get them before the test.
Test might have changed. I've heard rumors of "if they pass a First Class, that's good enough ..." but am not sure.
