Also, what Legacy is hiring right now? UAL is larger then DAL, & they aren't hiring. UPS isn't hiring. SWA has very little going on. JB has virtually halted hiring. Us Air isn't hiring. AA will likely furlough again. Atlas has slowed their hiring. World is furloughing. North American is furloughing. I believe Omni has stopped hiring. Kalitta has been silent.
So other then FedEx, what large US carrier/cargo outfit is hiring? I fail to see how Delta is somehow different then anyone else.
Well, I know that UniCal and USAirways have been doing the job fair circuit. And, if my memory serves me, a checkairman I know interviewed *fairly* recently at USAir. I grant you that AA, US, and UniCal have more age 65 rretirements initially, as compared to Delta.
Believe me, I am searching the light at the end of the tunnel...'Specially with furloughs going at places near and dear my heart/bank account. Being the behemouth that Delta is, a little air was let out of my proverbial tires when it seems to me they are not yet gearing up their hiring machine like others seem to be. I sort of figured they would be leading the charge. I don't have a snowball's chance at Delta, but movement in the industry is going to help a lot of people!
I am watching the economy for signs of hope, too. Looking for indications that there may be an uptick in pax / cargo demand for flying. Also, hoping the rest rule applies to the cargo carriers for fairness firstly, and maybe additional pilot staffing secondly.
