Just sat in a flight ops brief today that mentioned they were going to ramp up hiring to 120 a month starting in (I think) October and going into next year (I think March). It's a significant increase if it holds true.

That’s a bit disappointing. The union said if we hired only 1,000, next summer will be a repeat of this past summer. 😟

Not going to be enough. I guess Delta is counting on us flying as many green slips next year as last year and keep the operating going. Hopefully our contract is sorted out by then.

Isn't that 360 this year with an additional 900 next year for a total of 1260? None the less, I don't think this summer was a result of not enough overall bodies(although that was a minor contributor), the problem was the bodies weren't in the right equipment. IOW, a year ago with $1M men on the 350....it wasn't the overall number of pilots....it was the proper number of bodies in the proper equipment.

Let's revisit this topic next summer and see if management can manager better or worse than armchair quarterbacks. If they fix the Max problem.....that will help tremendously....new hires will allow them to get the bodies where needed......time will tell
