I just listened to it, at 12:30 east time, SD said they want (need) 300 total, said first indoc. class for furlough returnees to start in Nov, there are still 200 furlough bypass's who will be called first, then once they are accounted for they'll start with new hires, in Jan. at 50/mo. dropping to 20/mo. through next Sept.

He did say those numbers are 'subject to change'.

Good luck men.

As reported by me, Capt. Ho Lee Fuk.

I expect the numbers to adjusted for more hiring.

1) We're only going to "hire until we furlough!" DALPA/ALPA National screwed us again.

2) What, only ~1% of the list in 2013. (e.g. 50/mo.) We never should've fallen for the "sales job DALPA gave us on this TA!

3) I'm ONLY going to have MAYBE 100 more people below me by the end if this year. "I can't wait to get displaced again, on yet another displacement AE".

4) DPA would've hired a long time prior to Nov. '13.

5) Someone is still going to pick to too many Green slips & it'll delay hiring until Nov. '14. (Hockey, where ya at?)

6) Carl will state, "Alfa's/Slow's/Sailing's SPIN machine was still wrong. I'm right, everyone with an opposing opinion is wrong. Please renew your DPA card."
(Whoever believes that TC wouldn't run for DPA President is either living under a rock, or choosing to ignore the obvious!)

7) ......Insert all "doom & gloomery" that I missed!........

8). Oh, one more. Johnso29, "how could you have become such a DALPA Kool-aid drinker? Don't you know things are so much better at every other airline? (Unable to insert additional emoticons.)

All have a safe & enjoyable weekend. Happy Saturday, July 13th!!

And don't forget that we are shrinking to 9000 pilots.

Hiring!?!? Sweeet! Is this the equivalent of the Cubs winning the World Series (next year is always THE year)?? - from a lifelong Cardinals fan.

I was referring to the text version that was on the flight ops page on Deltanet. It's not there anymore.

I just got emailed the text version. I always figured we should have been hiring sooner than later... And now next year is finally this year.

Hopefully the newbies will enjoy flying with Capt Longrod Von Hugenschlong!

My Delta buddy just fowarded me the e-mail. Great news for you guys. Obviously I have my own selfish reasons for being happy about it, but I'm sure it's good to see a little movement on your end.

Underboob for everybody!

Now where's my lucky rabbit's foot?
