regarding our hiring status, hr/pilot division do a poor job keeping us informed. if i were to take a wild guess, we would hire 5-8 every other month, indefinitely. no advisory on application windows either.
sorry for the lack of info/updates, but it is what it is.
Yea, I've been hearing rumors around the DL/CPS mill about a possible merge between DL and HA to gain presence in the pacific since SWA and Allegiant are entering the mainland - HI market. Seemed really far fetched, hence why I wanted to ask if anyone on your side has heard rumblings about it. It may have started when a HA A330 showed up at the DL hangar in MSP for heavy checks a few months ago.
Any thoughts on how to stand out / make connections? I only know 1 ex-HA pilot, and he's been retired for 10 years.
