This announcement has absolutely nothing to do with military leave pilots. That is 100% irrelevant. When a mil leave pilot is done with leave, the mil leave pilot comes back and picks their airplane out of anything in the system they can hold, hiring or not. Period. This has nothing to do with mil leave pilots.

That's very possible, however in 2010 they said 300 and it was 300. This time they say 300...

We'll see. I guess it depends on the rumored A/C order and if any of it is actually growth.

Truthiness. I would have never guessed that when I bid for the 320 that I would have ended up at 7% lower than my qual value for it in the bid. I got it. No one else bid it, but MIL types moved in. Not their fault, but that's how it is. It did cost me around 20 grand on my 2012 W2, though...

The last two bids showed that they were at the ends of the rope of making it happen with current staffing. I think the next will show return to better.

Does anyone have the senior most date of furlough bypass? While he didn't mention it specifically I take it this number includes voluntary furloughs/leaves?

Asiana Crash KTVU-TV Report: Airline Says TV Station Damaged Its Reputation (VIDEO)

Apparently this report is damaging Asiana's reputation, not the fact that one of their B777's crashed landed.

Most senior is in the 5,380 range, then they begin to sprinkle in at around 8,000. 75% are senior to any 2007 Delta hires.

On the Delta Hiring thread I'm told 300 of 400 Compass pilots are guaranteed class spots, and 100 are guaranteed interviews.

I was lead to believe it was for interviews only when I read: "As you know, we have flow-up provisions in place with Compass and Mesaba Airlines, and an agreement with pilots at Endeavour Air-- that’s Pinnacle’s new name -- which guarantees an interview"

So skip the Delta interview? Nice.

Read what the other people have said about that. Compass flows ( not sure about Mesaba) were interviewed BY NWA and Delta HR/Line pilots. It was the same interview - the psych eval. No skipping. After the merger CP got the exact same test and interview format that Delta uses. It sucks that so many spots are taken already. I understand it hurts your MIL buddies ( and myself/many others) but it is what it is. Please keep in mind too it's not their fault, Management came up with the agreements. I have heard alot of stories of guys acting bitter towards flows because " they took their MIL buddies spot". Don't be that guy.
