I don't know what day they do it now, someone else who has been recently can chime in. Yes, they will positive space in your single guest, who can be a child (not sure if there is a minimum age requirement for the dinner). Obviously if they're flying in they have to be old enough to do so by themself.

Yes it’s on the last day (Wednesday) in the evening.
Delta will provide a positive space ticket to/from for one guest.

Not sure if this is the thread to ask, but had a question on Indoc + Training dates.
If you are expecting a childbirth shortly after Indoc (say 3-4 weeks later), would Delta be able to provide 2-3 days to attend the birth, then resume training? Or would that be a no-go and you would have to wait for the birth, then start training? Would it matter if the birth was local to ATL as opposed to elsewhere?
It seems with the current 3-6 week wait to start training, maybe the timing would work.

this seems crazy. Our December seniority list had 12,819 pilots, with over 600 retirements between now and June of 2023. That’s almost 4,000 pilots in 19 months if that is serious. I’m honestly not sure if ~200 a month is sustainable for almost 2 years, I guess we will see if they can pull it off. I can only imagine the havoc this will wreck on our RJ feed, which will only exacerbate their problem.
bet they are wishing they had not played stupid UNA games after the VEOP.

I only say this here to validate that hiring going forward will be massive for years to come. Good for everyone, except Regional recruiters. It’s probably why the new E9 CAP program is a 4.5 year path, so as not to bleed them dry.

I can also verify crazyjaydawg‘s numbers/analysis. Heard it directly from the mouth of a senior Flt Ops person who would know. In fact his number was even higher, but they know they can’t get to that number.

I don’t think that 4.5 year cap will do much, would you stay a year or 2 longer at a regional if UA is calling with a class now? Even AA is starting to hire RJ guys in some pretty decent numbers. I think the issues they will face with a shortage of CA/LCA/sim insutructors will happen pretty soon. A couple regionals I’m aware of are already backed up over a month for OE. Can’t see that trend reversing anytime soon

I’ll be starting class soon. I got awarded the 737. I’m completely spoiled coming from Republic I only flew the 175. How difficult will the transition to the 737 be for me? I’m a little nervous going to very little system automation and such. Curious what everyone thinks! Thank you

You'll be fine. Since I've flown the 175, I've flown a few Boeings (including the 737), an Airbus and a Douglas. They each have their idiosyncrasies but once you equate things to your previous aircraft (LVL CHNG = Open Descent, etc...) it all makes sense. Welcome aboard!

Copay plan: Not really familiar with this. No HSA available. $435/mo
Delta Pilots Medical Plan (DPMP): The only plan that is guaranteed in our contract. No HSA, lower deductibles but much higher premiums ($668/mo). I know a few people who are heavy users of our medical plans and every year they come out cheaper by going with the HSA over the DPMP. I think the DPMP is a winner if you have a family member on lots of expensive prescription drugs as all you pay for RX are copays.
All rates quoted are for family. Coverage begins day 1 of indoc.
