Hey all,

I'm a returning furloughee who is in the current Indoc class. Today we were addressed twice about the upcoming "hiatus" in hiring and new hire training. Looks like management is very focused on holding down rumors and speculation. Also, looks like new hire training will no doubt be put on hold sometime after the April classes. BB wasn't real specific as to exactly when but he did say that the cost of oil is causing a relook at the numbers, at least for awhile. International will stay the priority and domestic may see some short term reductions'changes. As for the "F" word, wasn't used and the mood was decidedly upbeat overall.

Having been through this before, unfortunately, I can attest it is the nature of the industry. Hopefully, the oil price mania will recede during or after the summer. That seem's to be DAL's expectations...and life will go on as previously planned.
