I believe it stands for Known Leave of Absence or something like that.

Bingo! At any rate it doesn't sound like we are short....at least not everywhere. They just need to shuffle the bodies again I think. I was hoping for hiring this fall. My hope is fading fast though.

Ohh...there you go, ass u me ing again! :eek:

Unfortunately, we are over staffed buy about 500 now, if 200 leave early, we'll still be over by 300 when they cut back for the reduced fall schedule.

Oh, and our lastest T/A gave them more efficiencies in higher average line values every month, and higher reserve utilization too.

Oh, and the first 13 of those 717's won't show up until next summer.

Oh, and 40 of those 88 717's are going to replace the 40 DC9's...

So, yeah, I expect they'll start hiring any day now.

Or not. :rolleyes:

Timbo - Surely you did not read DALPAs NN on the potential hiring related to the TA and subsequent contract. We will need like 3000 more pilots in the next few years. Unless:

- We are in a recession (we Are)
- Europe is in turmoil (it is)
- DAL Pilots will mostly try to fly 100 hours/month (they will)
- Oil is expensive (it is)
- a hurricane appears in 2013 ( it will)
- a volcano erupts ( maybe :rolleyes:)
- We put more passengers on ALK next year (we will)
- Some sort of natural disaster occurs somewhere in the world (it will)

Other than the above I think we will be hiring gangbusters! :eek:

This is the first I've heard of a call for September KLOA submissions. Where's the reference, and how do I sign up?
