I count 864 pilots hired in a 10 year period at Delta and that's DAL, NWA and post merger DAL post 9/11.

Actually, it's worse than that - I remember being in training at DAL when they stopped hiring in 2001 - we had just gone over 10,000 pilots. I think we only had 7500 on the seniority list when we merged. Personally, I don't think I'll ever make it back to my pre-merger seniority number (I think it was around 6700) - I'll be 65 mandatory retired before then.

You're right on the overall impact, though. It's called the lost decade for a reason.
