If true, Delta has known for quite some time according to this person. Explains delays, no hiring, not filling positions on 717. I have to give the company credit. They did a great job making us believe the 717 were going to come here on time. Hopefully, none of it is true.
When talking to training scheduling last week about me falling off the CQ turnip truck for the 88 his words were we thought you'd be in training prior to your CQ date but that's been pushed back. If I went before my must go month ended I'd been two months ahead of my conversion date so I don't know if a push back was for 88 pilot shortage or 717 delays or over zealous training ambitions.
Just a fwiw.
