November thru Feb, unless you are going within 8 degrees of the equator, or further south, then not at all. I went many years without wearing it at all, by bidding GRU, JNB and SYD layovers every winter. It's summer down there.

They don't need but about 2 weeks to spool up the hiring/training pipeline.
In 1985, Delta had not hired any pilots for 4 years. I was called on a Monday to come to an interview on Tues/Weds, hired on Thursday. I was sitting in class on Friday morning. Yeah, 1 week, start to finish, and that's without cell phones or the internet. 6 weeks later I was on the line. They went from zero to hiring 24 pilots every 2 weeks, while still in contract negotiations, because ALPA finally said NO MORE OVERTIME and guys stopped answering their phones. Many engineers had 200+ hr. bow waves and were being met at the jetway by a gate agent, on block in, with a 'reroute' trip assignment. So they started dropping the aft airstairs asap on parking, then they would run out the back, across the ramp, to the parking lot. Delta had to start hiring or cancell flights. The 'rumor' we heard in new hire school was, they were only going to hire 200, then merge with North West, then furlough us newbies. Today we are overstaffed, the complete opposite from 1985. I doubt we'll se any hiring until they are 'short' of pilots, why else would they want extra bodies on the payroll? Anyone see any 'short' categorys out there? We still have 25 a day on reserve, with 6 required in my category, and that's after they have displaced 40 from each seat in the last 3 A/E's. |
One of my mob went into there with a Druk pilot as "guide". He said the scariest part was when the driver fell asleep on the ride to the hotel.

Flashbacks, indeed. It's the PTSD kicking in, like lots of FRED flying. GF |
Don't worry about him. I'll take good care of him and make a promise to only have to fill out 1 nasap per 4 day.

FTB, take note. I'm worried about you on that Maddog. I know. I know. The 88 don't care! :D |
