Indeed. Time to see how it will apply to this situation. Maybe some used 777s are headed DALs way?

You know... when half the biggest leaves... they gotta go somewhere. But the productivity crowd will be good with it, right?
Where's that dead horse picture. I know I've got it around here somewhere.

NYC -32
SEA 0
SLC 0

They said that they weren't going to backfill up to a combined 30 spots in DTW & MSP, but it looks like they got -50 there.

So, we look to be down 88 spots system wide after that if that's all the bodies they wanted off the fleet. Just depends on how tight they want to run it I guess.
Wont they have to put out another AE and offer DTW & MSP 7ER slots before they give them to new hires.

Whatever it is, it's quick and real quick. 3 of those whales have 2 months left. DL stockpiled an extra 600 million in cash last Q.

Indeed.
But it looks like tsquare is gonna be right.
It's now conceivable, maybe likely, that no former Delta pilot will ever fly a 747. At least not left seat.

As far as this AE goes for ATL320B they had posted 15 openings, 10 people bid off, and 10 were backfilled. Net gain of 0 positions. Does this mean that the 15 positions are now available as new hire positions?
