I see it as all of those retirements that were supposed to happen and the need for pilots once the 737-900's and 717's start working their way in have found a solution and Delta may never need to hire off the street again.
Really feel bad for anyone out there just going to school. Pilot shortage? What?
Short answer is no. The Pinnacle pilots get to interview with Delta. There is no guarantee that they have or will get a job at Delta. If that is a picture of you setting in the cockpit of your avatar, you have a h*** of a shot to get on at Delta. Its not like ONLY Pinnacle pilots will be interviewed by Delta when they start hiring again. And your chances just got better, to get job at Delta, because I just quit Pinnacle yesterday. And don't believe all this c*** about a pilot shortage, there is not one. Good luck, may the force be with you.
