Yep, you are correct, they could be held for up to 90. So in class no later than 4/13. Compass management right now is saying 60 days for everyone, but who knows. And unless Delta is hiring at greater than 60 per month (that's 720 per year), the math doesn't jive for someone hired yesterday to be in class in August. Aren't there 175 in the pool ahead of them, excluding the guys who are already assigned February class dates? I don't think that includes SSPs either who will make up 1/3rd of the off the street numbers.

So a class of 60 (hypothetical, latest intel saying 30)
20 CP
9 XJ
10 SSP
21 OTS

The January CPZ class was not back filled, and it is looking less and less like the February one will be either.

I hate to err on the side of optimism, but unless the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing the fact that they now have more than 170 OTS swimming and are continuing to interview 3x per week leads me to believe that there must be an increase coming.

Anyone know when your benefits eligibility starts? Do you get medical, dental, jumpseating, etc on day 1 of training or does it start later?

Everything starts on day 1. Figuring out how to do that stuff on the computer... well, you'll get there.

After all the Compass flows leave, the then current Compass guys are offered an interview after 3 years of service among other things. Would that number be apart of the "off the street" number or is Delta reserving some class spots for the preferential interviews from Compass/Pinnacle/etc?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Not sure what you're asking.

The earliest we will see the end of the CPZ flows due to metering limits is most likely 2018 (as long as the flow agreement which is really between DL management and DALPA remains, which it probably will).

Any CPZ pilots that get hired after that will do so through the regular interview process, regardless of if their interview is a preferentially granted one or an off the street cold call. Those numbers will count towards the DCI ALPA 35% threshold in the DALPA contract. If you're asking if DL is planning on taking all the flows along with any statistically significant number of "off the street" CPZ pilots while the flow is continuing, I'd say that would be possible but very, very, very rare. That probably doesn't answer your question but I wasn't sure what you were asking anyway.

If hiring continues next year and the year after the flows will done by 2016. 120 a year and there are around 300 left (including this years 120). The interview coryk is talking about will be off the street, there isn't a quota like the SSP.

With everyone else hiring I'd bet some will leave the pool well before their supposed August class. Gonna miss out on some good guys.
