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.
Best regards, your nemesis,
