True enough.
I have always had a hard time believing that we would hire, but the powers that be (read Flt Ops leadership) has stated; since the last interviews were done, that we would need to hire.
Now if there has been a workaround to the SLI and SOC to bring NWA pilots to our side, I can see the leadership not being in the loop on that, Not completely(in the loop). Nothing is final until the in of the signatures are dry on the contract.
The short of it is, We are in a very dynamic situation here at Delta. Things will change multiple times before we come out of the other side of this.
