...because it's a bs, made-to-order rumor.

Dumb question,

Is this the same Richard Anderson that was the CEO of NWA?

Yes Sir. The exact same one. Coincidental? ;)

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:

Hey Scoop

I seem to recall, and I could be wrong, that in 2001 we had already stopped hiring, we're down to our last two classes in July of 01. Didn't announce furloughs until after 9/11 happened. I was in that first group of 400 and that seemed to me how it went down.

Any hoo, back to studying recurrent systems....:eek:

On a completely different topic...does anyone know if you can get a refund on an unused buddy pass? A friend of mine tried to get out of LA today and had no luck, so she paid for a seat on another carrier. If a buddy pass is issued but not used, any chance for a refund for her?

Go back to the buddy pass menu listing menu. Find that buddy pass locator number and there should be a refund option.

Yes, buddy passes are 100% refundable. Just log back into Travelnet and walk through the steps.

Buzz,

You are 100% correct on that one. To be fair, I should not have included the 9-11 furloughs, but my point is that a quick change in the hiring posture would not be unheard of.

If you are studying for the 737 recurrent please share any insights via a PM when complete. :p
