Default Delta!

Does anyone know what the % of new hires are non-military at Delta?

I heard the recent classes have been about 70% civilian/30% military.

The trend is beginning to tip a little more to the military pilots. There were a few that could not get released from their obligations and now are going to be available.

Looks like most pilots are from the regionals.

Do the 40 "prior military" include the ones who came directly from AF, NVY, and MC or are they regional pilots who were previously military. If it's the latter, it looks like 69 of the 163 had a military background for 42% of the new hires.

I think this is more typical of what we expect from Delta and certainly goes along with most of the posters on the Delta threads of this forum being mil guys.
