Wow ... an airline manager made another hiring promise they did not keep. Call CNN. Lindsey Lohan is more credible on the topic of Quantum Physics than airline management is on hiring. Which reminds me, do you know why Physicists are lousy at sex? Because when they find the position, they can't find the momentum. Just needed the yes votes. As to your physicists sex joke... keep it simple. Like a good Jeff Foxworthy joke: Buying a used rental car is kind of like going to a house of ill repute looking for a wife. Anything that's been driven that hard by that many people, you really don't want to put your key in it. |

You know, the same folks who predicted all the hiring in the last T&G - the Strategic Planning Committee - are the same folks that brief the MEC on the economic factors affecting the airline
Simply amazing how out of sync they were with themselves when the TA vote was at stake :eek: |

With regards to retirements, didn't the T&G show the cummulative retirements, both with or without the TA, as nuetral? IOW, we'd have the same number retirements through 2016 with or without the TA.

Your correct however that was based on the oldest pilots taking the RMA. Since that did not happen we will now actually have more retirements by 2016 since many of the pilots who took the RMA were scheduled to leave in the 2016 to 18 timeframe. By the end of 2018 the number is the just about the same.
Overall, I think we did better than I expected given the age of many of the ER pilots. |

If, continue, could, as early? You take all that as a statement they were going to hire? We read it very differently. I read it as hiring is possible in the 4th quarter depending on a bunch of things. That statement is correct. Hiring is possible. The block hour plan will decide if its needed.
All is not lost however. I have a investment deal for you. Send me 10 grand. I will make you some money, If there is no economic downturn, unanticipated event, I execute my trading plan then I might make a profit for you as early as next Spring. Are you in? |

News brief dated June 8 direct quote.
If Delta can continue to execute its business plan, including the 717s, and barring an economic downturn or other unanticipated event, we could begin the hiring process as early as the last quarter of this year.***** That statement was filled with a bunch qualifiers. Whomever took that to mean definite hiring needs to buy some beachfront property in AZ. |

I don't think anyone took it to be definite due to the qualifiers... however it was certainly a very low way of trying to get votes for the TA.
Shack. It certainly didn't add to SD's credibility, and it's a helluva long way from "good faith". |
