Zero TPIC is "competitive?"
not for my demographic.
Your demographic? What percentage of "angry people" demographic is there at Delta?

Compass used to run with 400 pilots with 42 airplanes back in 2011

In 2010 the same contract language existed and they also planned on 300 new hires They took 20 a month so I expect the same this time around.

hey man, I'm not angry. I'm not a pessimist, either. I'm an idealist, and I get spun up when we should be making significant gains, but can't or won't. When our pay and benefits are completely butchered by incompetent, greedy, and/or lazy buffoons who are supposed to be looking out for the Delta line pilot--but who certainly aren't. When we send good money away from our pilot group, only to be wasted by a bloated bureaucracy, and gifted to groups trying to undercut us. Thus, my utter disdain for ALPA.

I'm just tired of ALPA whizzing on our backs and telling us it's raining. That's the company's job--not "our" "union's."

The company is making billions, and we settled for 4/8/3/3 and massive giveaways. But we did get to slide the bidding window 12 hours.

When I was hired in 2010 they were running simultaneous classes for (off the street hires/DCI hires) and (furlough recalls and flow throughs). We all met on day 1 for lunch and got to rub elbows.

One female was hired the day I was and she didn't have any PIC time at her regional.

Hope all those MIL buddies you have, waiting for "the regional guys to flow first", do a better job of spelling on their app.

It seems like all the regional guys on here are thinking they're gonna get in first. We were all mixed in together. I think we all interviewed at the same time.
