Notice I didn't say if, with the unplanned losses and the training time limits we will need to start soon.
Honestly, with the slot swap approval and unplanned early outs I don't think they can get away without hiring.
The REAL thing to pay attention to is the aircraft order. RA has made it clear the 100/130 seater will be flown by Mainline, but at what cost? More 76 seaters? I think anything less then from here on out any airplane that will have the letters DELTA on the side being flown by pilots on the Delta seniority list is UNACCEPTABLE. That includes Delta Private Jets.
It's extremely important that we all participate in our contract survey, & watch management's feet.
