I think its all supposed to change after you pass a test and interview at a major. Then your allowed to ridicule and make fun of the nasty regional pilots that are obviously trying to ruin the careers of the major pilots and trying to cheat sneak there way in.
Geez, who wee wee'd in your cheerios? Did his post hit a little close to home???

Well, if you're going to go through the trouble of posting that, did you bother to read the LAST sentence of the post where 80kts quoted you?

I was piggy backing on his grammar National Socialism

Man, I really hope you're not in the pipeline for an interview. If, somehow, you are, you'd better lose the Tude.

A memo came out yesterday at Endeavor stating they are planning on 68 flow captains to go to Delta Air Lines and some SSP pilots to leave in 2014. These guys are getting these projected staffing needs directly from Delta Air Lines. If this happens off the street hiring will happen.

I also don't think Delta Air Lines would train pilots to conduct interviews and renovate a space just to hire 20 or so pilots in the next year. Just trying to stay positive.

True but they will need to officially announce more than 300 and/or have classes bigger than 20 people in them per month. Otherwise it will pretty much be only CP pilots and some XJ. Yes I am fully aware it will most likely be more but it hasn't been officially announced...

I just wonder what ALPA's response would be if Western and NWA pilots would be required to take a test and interviewed to have continued employment at DAL. We already know what happens when a major buys a regional.
Pretty tough and competitive process at NWA. If you like to know more about the NWA process, ask someone. Im sure and willing to bet it was a lit bit more than you think So knowing that, NWA dudes deserve their rights at Delta.

OK. At a meeting Thursday. Flight Operations management stated that 143 furloughed pilots have definitely accepted recall. Only 8 have declined. Status of the other 50 or so is unknown. Should fill Delta's needs for at least 6 months starting in November.
A little friendly advise. At an interview, an airline isn't primarily concerned with your pilot resume. If you were not considered qualified, you would never have been invited for an interview at all. Little more than verification that your not lying will be done. They want to know what kind of person you are and how well you can work with others. They want to know if you're an honest person.

Just sayin'.
