Purple and Boog,

Really? Those comments are beneath you guys. How about giving a guy some credit when it's due!

If the Company wants to let the returning Pilots be placed anywhere that their seniority can hold then there is nothing wrong with this. As long as there is a least 1 person junior to the junior-most returning Pilot in each of these categories then nothing nefarious is going on.

Look at the flip side - If all these pilots came back a few years ago the bottom 150 guys at DAL would still not be on property.

Furloughees returning and new hires around the corner - its all good.

TSquare, I hope you told them that Delta will be hiring 1500 flight attendants starting in November. They would absolutely be a job fit. I am sure it would be a nice change for you. Maybe you could start recruiting at college football games?

I get it - I just think there could be a better way. Lets say you're a senior FO (senior to the bypass guys) that decides "hey, I want to bid the SLC 320." But then a few AE's go by and there aren't any vacancies in that category so you never get the chance. Now the guys returning get to bid on 5 slots that were never made available to anyone else - fair?

Personally, I think that once these guys accept recall they should be able to participate in the AE process like everyone else - that way they know right where they're going before they even show up for class and overall seniority is honored.

But you're right - the fact that this discussion even exists is a good thing!

Speaking of Vandy, nice showing against those shamecocks. 2nd half was a game the outcome notwithstanding.
