Full disclaimer that what they plan for and what they actually do due to other unpredictable factors are different things.
just rumors. Still have buddies with CJO’s from June waiting on DL class date. Likely JAN or FEB at this rate. Fingers crossed they keep hiring 1,000/year but it’s always good to plan for the worst. No backfills and no fleet to truly replace the 767 or 757 that’s being retired, and the max delays, who knows where hiring will be with Boeing’s issues. Overstaffed on the 220 and 737 from what I’ve heard.
I would imagine Delta makes a 787 order at some point or buys used 787’s from someone eventually 🤞🏼
