There's a problem with the Christmas lights .... not for the kids (although all of this is very public, you've been warned)

Spin it any way you want but it seems to me we just got it from the proverbial horses mouth that they do not anticipate hiring in 2013.
Did DALPA ever say we'd hire in 2013?

The hiring will come. Why is that so hard for everyone to believe that the block hours are increasing?

I have been here 12 years and 10 month and am still in the bottom 16% of the seniority list. I think 20 years is about right for up grade. I will not break the top 50% of the list until 2022 assuming we keep 12000 pilots.

Everyone is different. hockeypilot44 & I have been at DAL less then 5 years. He can guarantee he and I will have a 20 yr upgrade as much as I can guarantee we won't.

You need to refine this question, then ask it again, to the right people.

How would they do it? They can't Codeshare, and the only 2 of the 3 MRJ70's are planned under 86,000 lbs. The MRJ70STD around 82,000 lbs and the MRJ70ER in at 85,969 lbs. All the MRJ90's violate scope, even operated under Codeshare.



BTW, it's still a paper airplane.
