Wow, just wow.

What a self serving post.

You've also got a track history of undercutting us in the marketplace...for your own advancement. Don't you think HR would rather hire pilots that have had a track history of brand service and loyalty?

Shy is to every APC thread, like a turd is to a swimming pool... Everyone is content, happy, ehhh maybe a few friendly splashes but for the most part, normal fun pool time activities......until he pops up...

What track history of undercutting you? It seems HR will now hire based on history of concessions for interview deals. It is now (apparently) a bargaining chip in negotiations.

TEN
Right after the "300 hires" announcement a few people posted some back of the napkin math showing why Retirements + New Planes + Work Rules + Training Inefficiencies - Boneyard Planes = more than 300.

My question for those who've see a hiring cycle or two; will Delta officially announce, say, an increase to 700 pilots, or just quietly add to the class size?

Quietly.... for one, it keeps the market calm in terms of a false "capacity increase".

Usually they just keep the classes going for longer rather than shutting down training over the summer. Increasing the number per month drives hiring more instructors and maybe even having to obtain more sims. Cheaper just to keep a steady supply going.

In 2007 they just kept on going and never announced a thing. In 2010 they just hired what they said then stopped.

I flew with the head honcho for my airplane program a few weeks ago. I asked him the 300 new hire question and he quickly responded that it would be 600 minimum. He isn't involved in the hiring process, but he rubs elbows with those who are. Take it for what it's worth.

Someone posted a few pages back that interview invites would be going out very shortly..... this includes off the street interviews also.

Good luck to all!
