When it comes to booking the JS via iCrew or VRU, what takes priority? I tried booking a JS right at noon today via icrew but got a message stating someone else was in the process of booking it with VRU. I literally hit submit right at noon and got the message.

IMO the 190s and 737s are still coming. We have seen this movie over and over and over. Although in the past the empty threats were less laughable.
Same stuff, different day.

Who the hell can't live off min guarantee at DAL? I'm worried for that person's common sense and financial acumen.

The 190 wouldn't have come until late next year--- do you try to be wrong all the time??

DALPA posted how much hiring they expected over the course of contract 2012. We will easily exceed that number. Also keep in mind that in addition to the hiring we started with a 400 to 600 pilot surplus and had 200 pilots return from furlough and mil leave.

Expect 20-25 flow throughs each month and off-the-street (OTS) hires holding class sizes around 30 until September where they'll go up to about "40'ish" and hold there for quite some time. Delta front loaded their large class sizes in the winter and plans to do that for CY16. So, seemed like very good news.
He did ask me about the wait time from the end of Indoc to training start (20 days for me... Low SSN), so I do know that's in his cross check as well.
