I know what you are saying about DAL controlling the hiring and understand, however when the numbers start to creep up to over 500 pilots a year you cant be that selective.

Really? I bet there will be 25K plus applications. I think DAL can be as selective as they want.

There were 5,500 qualified applicants when I interviewed in the summer of 2010.

Its easy when no one else is hiring, i believe it will be a bit different when the doors open again in a couple years when american (if they are still here), us air, united, fedex, ups are all hiring. people will have choices, when delta hired they could be very selective of who they wanted to hire and that is good for them.

Close to 12,000 was the # that I was told by a pilot hiring person that I meet while in Indoc. She said close to 12,000 "very qualified" applicants were currentlly on file.

A C-5 fly over is pretty cool.

I thought so too.

However, Steven Tyler's rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner was horrible. Maybe one notch ahead of Rosanne's. :(

Rumor alert. Just had a DL jumpseater tell me he recently had a linecheck and the checkairman said he just went to some big linecheck meeting in Mecca and a VERY high up guy stated we were looking to maybe buy back the DFW hanger and maybe get some gates back. Aren't we getting some MD90s this year?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh, oh, ahahahahahahahahahaha!

<Sniff>

Ahahahhahahahahahaa, oh man, quit it....bwahahahahahahah.

<gasp>

Oh man, Bill and Jess, thanks for the laugh bros. You nearly made me pee myself. All you had to do was say we were getting ATs 717s, and it would have been perfect.

Ahhhh....<wipes tear>

Nu

PS any rumor from an LCA comes with an automatic -10 on the reality meter. Now had you said FA, then it might have had some credibility.
