Especially now that it's 100% a pilots market. Folks won't be waiting around from New Hire to DGI interview date which could be as long as 5+ years to just get a shot at Delta. People will bounce long before that to a LCC if they get the chance or to another major, or heck maybe even fly over seas!. I'm not sure what will change or how. However, I am certain something will give when we start to have trouble finding new hires.
May be a while before that happens. We're putting in the requisite 50+ per month we need to maintain current state and meet growth demands. The leadership team has been quiet lately, I have a feeling something is ready to pop very soon. May not be the contract we're hoping for - yet - but something...my contacts in the school house said there's been lots of closed door meetings between all divisions. Stay tuned!
