i believe only 12 in class at this time. Approx. 45-60 next year is the rumor. The rumor should be confirmed early in 2010 as Delta is increasing utilization of the aircraft by 1-1.5 hours per day. We are already running line pilots at around 85 hours per month so there is no room to add block time without hiring. Now if we could just get mainline to take some of this flying back. Will also need pilots if Delta decides to hire by next summer. We could see as many as 85 pilots flow thru to Delta if they hire next year. If Delta is hiring then i assume others will be hiring which could take even more junior pilots from Compass. There are plenty pilots here that are junior that have heavy trans-atlantic and trans-pacific experience. Do to unfortunate circumstances at so many airlines it's not uncommon for me to fly with someone who has 1000 hours in the 747 or 15 years in a 757... strange as that may sound, it's true. Many of these experienced pilots are not going to wait for a flow thru.
