Obviously things can change but this seems to be what Delta is currently thinking at the moment and seems to have settled on it unless something drastic happens requiring them to hire more this year.
Oh look, a new account! Welcome to the Delta subforum, Cloud.
I’m sure that newhire felt pretty proud of themself for “trapping" management in front of the whole class during indoc. And anyways, since when did any pilot expect Management to give crystal clear hiring projections, like ever?? If it comes to pass that hiring remains suspended until January 2026, then that's the way it is.
btw, it’s quite ironic that of all the Delta new hires who might endure the misfortune of being indefinitely stuck at the bottom of the seniority list (and then get butthurt about it and call out management during an indoc class) it could very well be a group of Endeavor pilots who for years watched thousands of people pile in above them during Delta's biggest hiring wave in the history while they sat on their haunches waiting for a Mommy Delta to get around to giving them a flow class date. Just an observation =)
