And the same (850) for next year!!

Now can we get back to the thread creep? I'm out of the loop, what large RFP did CPZ (Hulas) win w/ American?

You are correct. But the previous poster's disappointed view of not hearing any good news about the increased hiring at Delta confused me

You misunderstand the reason for my post, I'm not complaining about the rate of hiring, I'm very pleased to see it really picking up! This thread used to be full of information about folks getting emails for interviews with their qualifications so you could get an ideas about how you compared to who was getting the call. Now, its turning into just another regional gripe fest like so many others.

I think he was disappointed he wasn't getting called, but I think it's a little early in the hiring spree to get all disappointed. There's always the EtD though

100 a month in June and July then authorized for 75 a month to April 2015. I think the well connected types are about all hired at this point. There is no more pool and guys interviewing now are getting class dates about 6 weeks out from what I was told. Good time to be coming to Delta, I'm sure most RJ line guys with competitive mins will get a shot soon.

Not sure how you define C scale in this case. There are already "mainline" rates for E190-195 and CRJ900.

While there aren't rates for an E175 or CRJ700 yet, the CRJ900 overlaps almost exactly with the E175 anyway especially at DCI, so I don't think that would be a stumbling block at all.

Those rates are:

128/hr year one up to 140/hr year 12 for the CRJ900 and the EMB 195 is 150-164/hr.

FO rates are 70 first year going to 95-112 top scale depending on which variant. That's hardly a "C scale" although I would like to see the 190 brought to 195 rates instead of being included with CRJ900 rates, but that's JMHO.

All with mainline work rules, benefits and 15% B fund.

And that's what the company could instantly do whenever they want. I don't think the DCI crisis will ever reach the point where the company will want 50's at the mainline, but you never know I guess. But long before that ever happened, there is room to transfer the larger RJ flying to mainline and the pay in place to do so tomorrow if they wanted to.

That's what Tsquare doesn't want to pay for. He knows that if it falls apart on its own, management will come to you guys looking for options to continue the cost savings they had in the past with it.

Well, if management is as incompetent as you seem to think they are, we won't see any of this until it is desperation time. Then management will be willing to immediately throw a ton of money at us and since we will know that they are desperate why would we sign on to a "C" scale? Besides as Gloopy said, we already have rates.Or, maybe they aren't as desperate in which case we would have to hold out to ensure that you get a fine pay increase when you come here. That could take years, and cost millions of lives. So which is it Mr CEO? If DCI is as tenuous in it's existence as you profess, there is zero reason to sign onto a C scale.


Your post.... fail.

And.. not that I really care, but it is refreshing to know there are guys like you that have so little faith in their fellow pilots and potential future co-workers. Makes me just ecstatic to work with you someday.

You won't be, I don't plan on leaving the small jets till I'm 50, I'm still in my twenties now.
