At this point I could completely care less. Until it's announced. Tired of rumors of airplanes, hiring and growth, few of which come true. But for the sake of those from the outside looking in, anyone else hearing that?
Isn't that sad?

Here we are at "The latest and greatest about Delta" and all its about is speculating about hiring for attrition maybe 2 years from now...

I better keep my mouth shut, else I'll get lectured again
"You should be lucky to have a job, look at the situation at American..."

The reality is probably more along the lines of: Delta was a first mover in the big consolidation game and now needs to wait its turn until the other players have executed their moves. In the meantime it will be status-qou while the company grows virtually via our partners, JV and otherwise...
