It was a Skelton crew....during the time I was hired (late 2017) until summer of 18, DAL only sent a trickle of folks to the NYC 737 but grew the NYC 320 category by almost 100 folks.
Spring AE and a good deal of folks left, a lot of them in the 1-3 year timeframe so not exactly new hires....then the hiring stopped.
There were 195 Capts in the category and only 110 FO’s.
