Guys,

I've been thinking through the amount of recalling/hiring at other carriers...is DAL missing something? Here are the ones I'm aware of that are recalling/hiring now or in the next few months:

Alaska
American
Continental / United
Hawaiian
US Airways
AirTran / Southwest
Allegiant
Frontier / Republic
JetBlue
Virgin America
FedEx
Regionals - not sure

That really just leaves us and UPS as the big ones not hiring. What's the major difference between us and every other carrier in this list that's holding us back? (Besides the continual outsourcing of our narrowbody flying?) Are we still reaping the consequences of the early-out offered a few years back?

Thanks,
FlyZ
