NYCM88B (19) and ATL717B (8). These positions will be filled by new hires and posted on future bids. "
Newhires to the 7ER again! ... in ATL of all places, too. Wow.
Next AE in a few weeks.

What will DAL do about their declining feed? Do they have a plan in place to replace the regional flying that is being lost due to the worsening pilot shortage?

Today the difference is 19 dollars per hour. That's off higher rates, so adjusted for that it would be like making 40 dollars difference from the MD88 today. That gap went away because we took a huge cut on the 7ER fleet. As I said, we are flying it for what amounts to narrowbody rates.
It's interesting to look at those old pay charts, then factor in the touching trips, 6 weeks vacation for senior guys, 1 for 2, etc... we have a lot to recoup. I know the execs have kept up with inflation, and then some.
