Word on the street is incorrect.
Furlough bypass pilots have spots in the first classes, then once "off the street" hiring begins, the remaining MSA flows (9/month, less than 75 remaining to flow...Help MESABA??!)and pre-divestiture CPZ pilots (20/month with a rolling 12 month cap, roughly 400+/-) are placed in classes. The remaining seats available are then filled with a ratio of eligible PCL SSP hires (max of 12 per month or 1/3 of remaining new hire seats, whichever is less), and then "off the street" hires.
All schedules are adjusted by slots required to place FUR BYP pilots in first classes (max 203), but likely 1/3-1/2 will return.
So say Delta runs 2 classes a month at 50 per class: total 100/mo
Jan-Feb: 200 FUR BYP
Mar-July 2014
3 FUR BYP (Mar only)
20 CPZ
9. MSA
12 PCL
56 Off the street (59 Apr-July)
Aug 2014 (maybe earlier)
9. MSA
12 PCL
79 off the street
Sept 2014-Feb 2015

88 off the street
