Word from a friend is that the class drop for Jan 20 was as follows:

ATL320B: 8
DTW717B: 3
NYC220B: 3
NYC320B: 8
NYC765B: 10
NYC73NB: 10
NYC7ERB: 6
SLC73NB: 4

Its nice to see the amount and variety of aircraft available to new hires

That’s 1,608 open positions (using numbers posted above). If the company intends to hire 2400 this year, we’ll need another AE at least by late summer to refresh open positions for FOs. If this indicates their intentions on hiring, it’s pretty impressive.

They usually also have an AE late March early April.

Pretty sure BS said that there was likely going to be a March or April one.

Do you know/Can find out what was the plug?

2400 is a lot more than they originally were looking to hire this year. Anyone know if there is a number management is trying to hit for total pilots on property? Looks like its close to 15k currently.

It would require a change to our contract, as it's in there, not just randomly picked by the company. PWA 20.B.2

So not likely..

There are over 15,000 today. With 500 retirements this year, it will be approaching 17,000 this time next year.

The increase in headcount is partially due to previous plans, partially due to another 700 pilots required by C19.

Yes, There is a 1/31 Class Whatsapp group. You can find it on the Facebook Delta New Hire Page. I also sent you a private message.

Any info on how long of a wait after indoc there is for the 220. Also for the ER. Thanks!
