Why would an airline that is suppose to lose over 100 airplanes by the end of 2014 be hiring? And what is their pitch going to be to get pilots to accept a job? Any new hire, at best, is going to be on eternal reserve but more than likely they are just temporary workers until being furloughed in the next 1-2 years. This company really backed themselves into a corner, at what point is Delta just going to give up?
