2 Feb 2000 hires - Both flying corporate.
1 mar 2000 hire - left for FDX
1 Jan 2002 hire - left for Jet Blue

1 other is a June 2000 hire flying corporate but still might come back - not sure how long he will even have this option if in fact it is still an option.

I am not really in the loop with the more recent hires.

The rate of pilots leaving to go to other airlines is virtually zero. We have lost pilots to medicals and getting fired. The attrition rate to other airlines has been in the low single digits each year. They have seen higher loss rates in training in the recent rounds of hiring.

Some of them were fired for not being able to master the beast (THE 9). CRJs kill the brains too.

Only 2 met this fate. One in the SIMS and the other after his OE. I haven't heard of any others being let go from any fleet. I do know 2 that have left for WN that were hired in the 2010 classes.

I know of at least 1 returning pilot that got released after several attempts to get thru IOE on the M88.

Scambo, I could be wrong, but as a 2010 hire we were briefed to have a recommendation by e-mail from airlineapps.com. If the rec was from a delta.com e-mail address, those apps went to the top of the list.
