Take this for what you paid for it, but heard that SD said in a meeting with the new hire mentors that they need at least 700 this year, although they will not publicly announce any more than the 300 authorized.

At training PUB event in ATL. MD said hiring a lot more than the announced 300. Look for an announcement in the near future. It's coming.

The most recent # I've heard, from a decently reliable source, is ~800 hired at DL from 1/1/14 through April 2015. Then it is planned to go at about 600/yr indefinitely. Nothing set in stone though, and probably won't be announced but rather just continue beyond the original announcement of 300.

We need 50 to 60 pilots a month to cover aircraft deliveries minus retirements so your rumor sounds spot on.

OK, so I think I need to start an abbreviation dictionary. Some I can figure out, but others leave me guessing. Can someone tell me what the SD, MD, and PUB event are from above? Thanks.

Initials for the MEC chair and an upper level VP and "Pilot Unity Building" which is often held in a pub/pub like setting but that's not why its called that.

Or is it?

Thanks for the help. It's nice to know what level some of the rumors are coming from.

is it going to be around 50 percent flow through as well? That's sort of what most of us are gauging as the bottom line for movement, is how many actual street hires, not flows, since we cant compete with flows. so 300 off the street?

After April Mesaba will have only 35 flows left and they will be done.
