As I understand it, we've already had new hires going into the ATL ER. They have also been backfilling ERB's in other bases the last few AE's - take a look at the SLC ERB awards on the last couple of bids, all backfills (thank you very much:cool:). And a lot of these backfills have fall conversions :confused:. I haven't done an in depth analysis yet, but I'm guessing there has been a rather large exodus from the right seat of the ER lately. That, and like you said, perhaps the draw down won't be quite as rapid as they originally stated.

Now they just give me special trips because they know that it's necessary to do so to ensure the job gets done!

The 25 percent drawdown in the fall is not that far off the normal summer to fall transition. It's been way overplayed on the forum.

From the DALPA MEC Facebook page this morning,

"Delta Connection Carrier Working Group meeting this week to discuss ab-initio training programs and input to the FAA Air Carrier Training ARC/Working Group"

I'm sure there's a lot there that needs to be monitored.

Delta passengers upset because pilot doesn't show

Stuff like this also needs to be monitored so the news can properly report that it's not "Delta" but their very own regional subsidiary.

I believe delta is learning that you reap what you sow.

This has been going on since the 1990's. As long as DL can get cheap lift, they are more than content to take a few lumps in the press. Believe me, they're glad they called it Delta. That's the whole idea.

But to the passengers it is Delta. :cool: They bought a ticket from DAL and that is who they should accountable for providing the service. Just another reason not to outsource.

Did you notice the C130's in the background during an airdrop scene? Those must've been A models. ;)
