No, I was not asked to resign my seniority. The only time I even saw it mentioned was on the online app. It never even came up in my interview or my first day of class. Furloughed...Comair

I was never asked either. Never came up.

Ya, they are still hiring.... not sure how many more, but i got called last week for an interview. The rumor is that they are hiring through spring, but that is just a rumor, and could change im sure.

Was called by a friend at Delta who just had recurrent. They told him to expect to see 800 pilots hired after the training is completed on the SLI movements. Should be great news for the Compass Pilots if it happens. Good luck guys!

I will believe it when I see it. Until the summer they are way overstaffed! Yes I hope it is true but I will not hold my breath.

the latest mark up in YOY capacity increase put us "tight" on staffing. This JAL deal is a game changer though. Lots of widebody flying projected and thus will require alot more pilots. the uptick in the economy is adding to this as well. See the below for clarification on whats coming up in regards to JAL

Delta, the world’s largest carrier, appears to be gaining the upper hand with an invitation for JAL to join the SkyTeam airline network, which currently has no Japanese partner

If JAL joins SkyTeam, it is “highly likely that JAL’s flights to America will be replaced by Delta”, said Yasuhiro Matsumoto, a credit analyst at Shinsei Securities. But it would take time for JAL and Delta to get approval from US authorities for joint operations, he added. JAL’s bankruptcy filing is just the first step in what is likely to be a long and complex overhaul by the debt-ridden carrier, which aims to slash more than 15,600 jobs and axe unprofitable routes to staunch massive losses.

JAL, which reassured passengers it would continue to operate flights during its bankruptcy, made no announcement regarding its talks with American Airlines and Delta Air Lines when it unveiled its turnaround plan Tuesday. But just hours after it filed for bankruptcy, both US carriers issued statements saying they stood ready to support the once iconic airline. “As JAL becomes slimmer, Delta would provide many flights,” said Yoshihisa Akai, head of research at Japan Aviation Management Research, an advisory firm. US giants are not the only ones waiting in the wings.

Not true. We are overstaffed in certain seats, but not overall. I have friends who are 320 FO's who are getting called on their days off to fly. And 747-400 CA's are being denied No Flying Lines while also being called on days off to fly.

I just talked to a 744 CA who got 120 hours of credit last month because they are so short on 744 CA's! Do the math, he made more in one month then most Regional FO's make in their first year!! :eek:
