Planned hiring, 208 new aircraft in the next 4 years. This in one of the worst economic eras in history.
Its funny how I ride a lot of jumpseats to my main job and my hobby job. All I get is barraged with questions on how to get hired at Delta. Very strange. Must be that terrible union leadership!.

You should try running for President with a BS platform like that! Planned hiring? That's either rediculously naive or incredibly funny. I'm not sure which. As for your RJ friends, they can't wait to go anywhere else. Nice try.

I just bought a custom guitar amp, haha. For the record, good on them for the refund!

No no. The real trick is not telling them about it at all. Then work in how we took it in the shorts and only get paid once a month now -- the 30th, of course.

Then, if he can pull it off, Buzz can get all the metro stuff he wants.

As far as you know...

1) Were any turned down?

2) Do you still stand by your assertion that the majority of the pilots are 59-61?

Thanks.

No one has been turned down as far as I know. I don't know after pulling letters the exact distribution. It strongly favored the 59 to 61 age range at the original 251 number. Looking at the list of actual retirement numbers I suspect that ratio stayed about the same. I am sure that data will be out in a day or two.

I ride USAirways every week and I've never heard them say that. JBLU yes but Airways guys either don't care or want to leave the business.

Just looked at the list of RMA guys (it's on the DALPA board) and we are losing a Latest and Greatest Bubba.

Enjoy retirement Maddog Max, I'm going to miss ya in AMS! But stop in here from time to time, if nothing else just to rub it in on how good retirement is.

Your little boy,
