Default Historical ALV data

Is there a way to find historical ALVs? Wife and I are trying to plan summer activities already and I’m trying to estimate how many days of flying I’ll have to do without vacation/IVD/PD. I thought they used to have it on DeltaNet but I can only find 2 months. Specifically looking for June, July, August 2025, 24, 23, etc.

TIA

Your best bet is to send a dart to the PBS committee.

There is a file called bid monitor report on the Scheduling committee page that has the last 12 months of ALV and the current TLV. You can probably find several years worth there.

Note: I can't remember a time in the last decade where ALVs in January and February have been in the 80s. This puts a lot of pressure on TLV

Thankfully, as stated in the company’s podcast, they’re going to absorb 3-4% growth this year with ALV/TLV increases and not hiring additional pilots.
It’s going to be a great summer!

Summer ‘26 is already giving Summer ‘19 vibes…we’re gonna run it a little hot! BOHICA boys

While true (I think they said “mostly”), I think that has been superseded. Hiring is currently at a rapid place, and is widely speculated to have revised upwards simce that statement.

Regardless, with ALV’s above 80 in MARCH, they won’t be able to keep up, and agree it will be yet another summer run “a little hot”.

New hire here, can you elaborate on expectations? Military guy, so no reel understanding beyond a couple years of lurking on the forums and finally realizing the dream.

The only stated number so far in any official communication was that they plan to hire ~700 in the first half of this year. While no further word has come out, all indications (continued interviews, sim instructors possibly working through the summer months,, their stated goal of hiring more pilots to stabilize the operation, etc) point to at a minimum some form of steady hiring through the summer and fall. Will it be another 700 in the second half? No one knows, probably not even the people in charge yet. The end number seems to alwasy be changing, hence why the best we can do is follow the trendlines.

This worked, and is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you!

Delta Air Lines:

It’s always “light chop, running a little hot, and for some inexplicable reason we don’t say “airlines”.”
