Well they stated try. Lets hope they will.
Time for the ER.

More hiring rumors ...
 

FWIW, I had a checkride this week. The check airmen said they are going to hire very soon. He said there are a couple of issues that need to be nailed down first that will determine the total numbers. The estimates he heard were 300.

Total. That included a few from the other side of the fence if a deal cannot be worked out for early outs.
Also Early is as in less than three months.
They are ramping up the process again. I can tell you that.

Also the whole Compass and Mesaba Flow agreements are totally new to Delta. We are trying to figure out what is the best course of action with those, as it pertains to hiring.

I think the best course of action is to terminate the agreements. The 20 a month furlough protection is not enough, if Delta furloughs 500 pilots, it would be years before we could get jobs over there. Plus does Delta really want to bring over people that they have not interviewed or sent to the shrink? I am surprised Delta went for this... They have always been quite selective in their interview process.

That is part of the problem. They feel they had to, to get the JPWA agreed to.

Do you guys still think that they are going to invite the guys that had their interviews cnx'ed in April.

Yes. That's the plan based on my contacts. Delta is really good about honoring their previous commitments.

Any guess as far as a time line. Need to start the studying......

I've heard next month and I've also heard this spring. I think with the upcoming AE I'd bet on next month and get ready. I don't think the tests/process has evolved since the last time you were on the schedule.

Best advice, prep hard for the tests and be as normal as possible for the interview.

Hope to see you on campus soon. You'll love it.
