Congratulations. From the time I was officially notified for an interview till the time I was on available and stepped on property was 8 months. I had military commitments too so this is not unusual.
Remember, there is a class start date for Indoctrination and then a start date for training. My training date (Sims and Operational Experience) didn't start until a month after Indoc. For those that had 75/76s, they waited much longer due to a backlog in the training department.

Yes like in a multi pilot / crew airplane in the military (or cargo) where the aircraft commander is logging PIC while napping in the back. That will certainly make for some funky numbers in your log book. Just be able to explain it all in a methodical, logical, ethical, and legal manner.

Every pilot Delta interviews can more then likely do the flying. They are looking for pilots who can manage a flight when things are not going well both in the air and on the ground. With the huge increase in international making the right or wrong call on when to shutdown the operation can get expensive for the company in many locations.

I didn't post anything until I was already well established in class- there was such a small group of us that I didn't want to be narrowed down, or to say something stupid and lose my job because of an internet forum. I love to help other pilots but I wasn't risking that!

BTW, FWIW - They look at (and consider) "everything" from your Total Time, to your college degree to whether or not you applied before we announced hiring or afterward (as a knee-jerk type deal.) All in all, if you look like the right fit, they'll call!
Internal recs and patience is the best plan, good luck!!!
