Late last year, DL hired a 23 yr old CFI OTS. Barely had the minimums required.
Not the requirements are NOT light years apart. The vast majority of regional pilots, you included (unless you have that mess of DUIs and failures on your record) have much higher qualifications than he did, I assure you.
A degree? Yep. An ATP? Check. Willing to work for DL? Of course. All three requirements met, he got the job.

This argument about regional pilots being on par with mainline pilots gets really old. We do similar jobs, but the requirements to get the job are literally light years apart. Regionals will gladly hire anyone with a pulse and pilot certificate. DUIs, multiple training failures, alcohol problems, pedophila convictions? No problem! Sign right here! It's harsh to hear, but no, regional pilots are no where close to the same category as mainline pilots until you pass the stringent screening requirements.

Again, irrelevant. He got hired. He didn't have the minimums required, yet he got hired. It's a slap in the face to those who are trying to get on at DL that have years of experience and thousands of hours of 121 flight time.

Anyone with the same opportunity would have done the exact same thing. Life is simply not fair. It never has been and never will be. Getting upset over this kind of stuff really serves no purpose other than elevating your blood pressure unnecessarily.

In post 61 you said he met barely met the minimums required so which is it? Regarding the minimum posted 1000 of turbine time, that's not a FAA requirement, it's one set by Delta. As such, they can waive it every day and twice on Sunday.
