They were told that they will be "at the top of the list when hiring resumes next year."

whoa, waiting to hear from someone that has an interview this coming week...

I can't believe they'd cut it on, and then cut it off like that. Very un-Delta like. Normally, they're way out in front of the curve and don't crank it up unless they're committed for awhile. Of course, who knows, but I can't imagine DAL kick starting the hiring for a month and then closing it down. Doesn't sound like us at all.

Buzz,

You are too kind.

Hiring wave until 1991 - DAL hires right up until furloughs.
Hiring wave until 2001 - DAL hires right up until furloughs.
Hiring wave until 2008 - DAL hires and does not furlough......yet.

I would say our record is "mixed" at best in this regard.

Scoop :cool:

My bet is that this has everything to do with the special MEC meeting this week...

Stay tuned...

I've worked every reserve day so far, & I think I'll work every single reserve day this month. I may break 70, but most likely I'll get right to 69 hours just as the month ends.

But what? They can't possibly flow enough guys to cover all 305 by years end. It'll leave CPZ so short they'll be hosed.

Nu, more than likely. Maybe they all got seniority numbers! :D

Just finished a three day with mostly north-side fa's...they are working hard at spreading the "Dougie is coming back" rumor. Personally, I don't buy it.
