Lets not forget the "tunnel of love". If I get displaced to DTW I'm going to spend all of my sit time riding the moving walkway back and forth down the tunnel, sending out the vibe. Its like waiting at Disney World sans the ride.

For sure - DTW is the largest hub for NWA. It is also their major asia hub. If Delta doesn't operate DTW as a hub, they better just shut the doors.

There are no NWA pilots furloughed - where did you get that idea??? Northwest hired pilots last half of 2007 and first half of 2008.

NWA does still have pilots on furlough. A number have bypassed still.

So does Delta. Anyone who has been hired since recalls started is junior to them and so will any FNGs.

Oh - right, sorry. But they have been recalled - so they do not have to be recalled prior to NWA hiring.

All pilots at both companies have already been recalled - anyone still out is on a LOA, voluntarily bypassed recall, or accepted recall and took MLOA.

Rumor from a very good source that Delta will hire about 50 pilots to start class in Nov. They will come from the pool and no interviews will be scheduled for these classes.

That is a good rumor, and there may be interviews after that for about 80-100 more slots.
