Dunno if you guys have heard yet, but some interesting news coming out of the Compass Chief Pilot's Office the last few days....
1. Delta has confirmed 110 flowups in "early 1Q 2013," letters to be sent out later this summer. Obviously it's not final till my butt is sitting in class, but CPS is sure enough of it to be spooling up our own hiring in the fall. If the ratio from the last flow-up holds true, this implies at least 360 total newhires, and possibly more as 110 is the maximum that can flow in one year (1/4 of our total list).
2. We just signed an agreement with Delta to extend guaranteed interviews to all Compass pilots not covered by the flow (ie anyone hired after 8/2010). Applicants have to meet all DAL requirements and go through the entire Delta interview.

That is pretty awesome news.
Truth is, this is shaping up to be a banner DAL year: Record profits, more aircraft, TA before amendable date, (unknown merger), etc. The eurozone is the current fly in the ointment for maybe other things.
