I do not believe G2B was implying that you could expect to have a similar career as a pilot hired in 2000 which would involve a furlough. :(

EXACTLY correct Hillbilly....I wasn't suggesting New Hires should expect an 8 year furlough, a merger (where you loose 6.5 years of seniority) and can expect a 16 year upgrade. Happy times for all of us up the upward movement continues. Just keep one eye open for the Ret age to rise again and FIGHT with all you have.

Welcome aboard!!

Baja.

Thanks. Good to be in the queue.

Speaking of the queue...anybody gotten a cleared to train notice, or did DAL stop doing those? I guess the "Conditional" part of the offer will remain until we physically get a call for class dates.

I wonder if that unknown pushes any of the guys with multiple job offers to UAL who might otherwise have waited a month or two for DAL.

Baja,

Once the training department gets spooled up 750 is the lower end of our capacity. Not only did we hire 1000/year as a stand alone Delta in the late 90s and 2000 but SD put out these numbers during the base visits:

We could sustain 60-70/month minimum for years, with a surge capability at slower times. 60x12=720, 70x12=840, so with a few surge months above these numbers 1000/year should not be a problem.

Not to mention when they really want to train in a hurry they will contract additional simulators to boost capacity even more.

For all the base visit info go back and look at the DAL Latest and Greatest post 127487 from March 28, 2013.

Scoop :)

We received a letter that started our 45 day clock per the CBA and day 45 is on Dec 2nd so we should know more then.

Any reportable intel?

I was going to ask the same thing.
Our 45 days expires today so they should start sending some info out to the first 20 flows.
Was told by the Cpz CP that the first class will flow 20 pilots but only hold back 10 for a couple of weeks

Heard there is an FAA english endorsement that is simple to add to your ATP license. Does anyone know if Delta requires this for the interview? Local FSDO is over an hour away and been trying for over 3 weeks to get them to return my calls since they only schedule appointments one day a week to process the paperwork.

Too ADHD to wait patiently? I am.
