I’m gussing minimal. Unless the candidate also had a cjo at AA/UAL/UPS/FDX, they will show for class. No one is forgoing a DL class to go to an earlier class at jb/swa/spirit IMO.

I guess that was my roundabout inquiry. Are the other majors (AA/UAL/UPS/FDX/LUV) taking advantage of our lull in hiring?

I know at least one person who chose SWA over Delta.

Yes...I know FedEx has scooped up two DAL poolies that I personally know....both interviewed/CJO back in April.

He will be in the Dec class as he doesn’t have any other CJO’s.

I have two other buddies that interviewed with DAL back in April, then during the wait, interviewed, got CJO, and started Indoc with FedEx.

It's very possible that someone who got a CJO from Delta in the spring was already employed by a peer airline and this delay has caused them to keep their bird in hand.

Eh, it's going to happen. I knew 2 guys in the FDX pool that went to AAL...then went to FDX when called for a class after 14+ months at AAL. Plenty of stories of guys going elsewhere (at all airlines), while waiting for a calls date...or even after flying the line. If they want the other airline enough, they'll leave. Not a big deal either way.

If I had a place where I HAD to live, I'd definitely give up a year or two of seniority to be hired by the hometown airline rather than commute to whomever called me first.

Well... if we had the internet. I think there may be some cave drawings of pilots being hurled into volcanoes for this kind of talk.

Word from the top, 250 to 300 needed for Summer 19. ~1,000 a year thereafter for as far as they can read the plan. Figure retirements and ~2 to ~4% YOY growth. The network supporting more larger jets than smaller jets right now. Move everything up one. If it is was planned as a 737-800, probably can use a -900. 767 to A330 etc ....
