So true....DAL management screwed up big time when they slowed down hiring in e second half of 2015. Don't believe the excuses for one second that they had to reduce training because of sim building construction. That's a cop out and outright lie. Sure, some 737 sims went down, but plenty of other categories had sims that were just fine. The sim building the last three months of 2015 were a ghost town

In ICrew, just go to OPEN TIME, daily trip coverage, and click on the trip next to your name....

BE CAREFUL that you don't auto acknowledge if your password goes into the trip assignment box......

Spot on. Just to piggyback on what Piklepausepull said, there is now a Daily Trip Coverage quick link at the bottom of the iCrew Homepage to save you mouse clicks. Doesn't matter much in the current Greenslip frenzy environment but in the past every sec after that phone call was critical if you didn't want to miss out on a short notice GS

TA voted down on June. Hiring slowdown started in July as I recall.

Regardless of the timing, they brought this on themselves. People are getting tired. That's what happens when you try to "do more with less," people get burned out and slow down the max effort push.

the slow down is a different story, they delayed hiring which has put us behind the power curve for years. This problem has been boiling up and soon its going to get real ugly.

Not sure if it is just about hiring. I have heard that DAL is trying to shift some DCI flying to mainline that DCI could not accommodate - can anyone confirm this?

Greater than 69% certain you are correct. I think I read something about this in the 717 bid package a while back. Shuttle America couldn't meet it's contractual obligations so we brought a lot of their stuff to mainline.
