The Derg is a Delta Captain that runs his own website "mentoring" his "boys" who are mostly CFIs and regional pilots.
He entices them with photos of him when he was an ER f/o of the exotic layovers and lavish crew meals. The "boys" fall at the Derg's knees wanting to be the first in line to kiss his ring in hopes that he'll bless them with a rec to DAL. Pretty creepy actually.

This guy Fegelein (who apparently is an acquaintance of mine since he knows my Marine Corps nickname though I don't have a clue who he is ), is having a great time amusing himself on a variety of forums expounding on ACMI , FedEx's future, and now apparently he is haunting the Delta threads, like most trolls he is the voice of negativity , here to stir things up not to add anything meaningful to the conversation,best to ignore him, though in truth I am genuinely curious to where we actually crossed paths. Cheers.

Yikes. While that's closer to the historic rate long term, its way below what we've been seeing recently. Hope its an anomaly. If they're running smaller classes for a while to catch up on the pipeline as rumored, I'd hope they wouldn't take it out on the interviewees. Hopefully it was just a rough day.

The Crew Resources newsletter published today said to expect smaller classes for awhile.
They hired as fast as possible the last few months to get spooled up for summer but now the simulator schedule is the bottleneck.
Not enough sims.
The two new 737 simulators should help some.

The slowdown in hirring was planned before the big surge of 100 - 150/month started last fall. Actually, from crew resources standpoint the high throughput in q4 and q1 was a surge to cover summer flying, and they are now returning to a more normal capacity. They were actually planning on going to around 60 pilots per month, but determined they need closer to 80. I believe they said they will ramp up again in the fall.
So fear not, this is not a new development nor does it portend a demise in near term hiring.
