Jungle,
My intentions aren't to discredit your good news, as I hope the hiring starts and doesn't end for a long, long time.
Just curious as to whether it was formal communication from your leadership? (i.e. letter, email, crew information file?) Or if the Chief Pilot told someone who told you?
Thanks,
GJ

The second part was an email

"Thirdly, counter-intuitively, the trans-Atlantic produced Delta's highest unit revenue in the first quarter, despite Europe's weakening economies." Hauenstein said. Trans-Atlantic PRASM grew 22% following a 9% capacity cut.
"Business travel in the aggregate is increasing despite the fact that Europe's in a recession," Hauenstein said. "That's contrary to what we expect. The U.S. is seeing opportunities in Europe to work (so) business traffic goes up.

Sorry, my wording was a bit imprecise. 110 Compass flowups implies at least 360 total DELTA newhires. My reasoning is that Compass can only flow 20 per month, so 110 equals six months of hiring, and Delta hired a total of 60 per month the last two times around (two classes of 30). 6*60=360. More are possible because, as I mentioned, 110 is the maximum number that can flow from Compass in any 12-month period. On the other hand, it's always possible that they're *only* planning on taking Compass (and Mesaba) flowups. I think that's unlikely, though.

I hope the counter-intuitiveness continues because europe is sliding down the muck.
Now how many European destinations have been removed from the NYC ER bid package?

Scambo,
I too am a bit optimistic, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here - all the good you speak of above (and I hope it comes to be) are currently just forecasts - none of it has happened yet.

A Subway 5 dollar footlong my, foot. Try a 10 Euro footlong. After getting hammered with the exchange rate you're paying 15 bucks for a sandwich. Everything there's like that. Bout time some wind came out of that sail.

Yeah the only "new aircraft" rumors are centered around used vaporware stagnation jets that we may have to give a sport bidding relative seniority windfall to another pilot group and more large RJ's to get. Pair that with our obsession with "capacity dicipline" and the LCC fantasy order books and growth looks skeptical at best.

Scoop;
I'm with ya. And I do believe the Eurozone IS a fly in the ointment. At least we have positive rumors. Now I'll go take my anti-manic meds. I'll be back to normal tomorrow.
