Delta Hiring News
#8781
My wife invented copper wire. She doesn't spend money and has never stepped foot in a Macy's or Nordstrom. And as amazing as it is she likes me to be healthy and wants me to be around a long time. The kind of flying they do (and yes I know it isn't ALL back side of the clock) is not conducive to that. It might be a great decision for some but to say it is a no brainer is just silly. I personally wouldn't swap with their number 1 guy.
Oh, and I have no problem with passengers. I will win each and every argument concerning a flight on which I am the operator. ALL of them. Fact is that it never gets to any kind of argument stage.

The full quote is:
I talked to the general coming out here about the pace at which the vehicles are being armored. They have been brought from all over the world, wherever they're not needed, to a place where they are needed. I'm told that they are being ... I think it's something like 400 a month are being done. And it's essentially a matter of physics. It isn't a matter of money. It isn't a matter, on the part of the Army, of desire. It's a matter of production and capability of doing it.
"As you know, you go to war with the Army you have. They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time. Since the Iraq conflict began, the Army has been pressing ahead to produce the armor necessary at a rate they believe ... it's a greatly expanded rate from what existed previously, but a rate that they believe is the rate that is all that can be accomplished at this moment.
"I can assure you that Gen. Schoomaker and the leadership in the Army and certainly Gen. Whitcomb are sensitive to the fact that not every vehicle has the degree of armor that would be desirable for it to have, but that they're working at it at a good clip."

They are de-facto doing that via China Southern JV, aren't they?

The interview environment at Delta seems very dynamic. Recent rumors have mentioned Delta hiring over 100 a month and over 1,000 for the year. Let's start a new thread for all the new invites!
