In 2007, NWA determined they were short approximately 200 pilots for the summer 2008 schedule. (I imagine talks were already being conducted, books were being 'looked at' for a merger with Delta, but nothing yet was 'set in stone'.) The pilots who had been hired by COMPASS had yet to meet their obligatory requirement of 30 months, so NWA opened an application window of their own. They invited interviewees to NATCO, led them through the NWA interview process, quite professionally I might add, and hired ~192 of their own pilots between September '07 through March '08.




I agree with you, but the exact number was more like 192 pilots. Then the 'music' stopped.
