The most junior in the 2/22 class is 13,029. You're suggesting we'll have 29 or more retirements in Feb? If so, that would be double the pace the company has said we would retire this year. I'm not saying that's implausible, but it would behoove the company to adjust their numbers and greatly pick up hiring if it is true.

Based on the 2/22 class plug being 13,029, unless we have a bunch of 'non-mandatory exits' (vol retires, medicals, 'I'm-sick-of-it-I'm-done's, etc.) we should stay above the 13K mark for a while based on the current hiring pace. Good news, good news.

It seems like delta is perfectly happy to remain slightly understaffed and fix it with greenslips and white slips, it probably saves them money.

I know the SLC ER / April 2015 guy. Good dude. FWIW, he did indoc in April, got sim qualled in the ER in mid-summer, immediately held an ER line in NYC, flew his first actual flight on 9 Aug and was able to sit reserve in SLC in about mid-October.
He's got family in SLC and made it there amazingly quick, if you ask me.
Good luck to all of us eventually getting to where we'd like to be.

Thanks MikeF16, Peoloto, Phuz, & dogismycopilot for the input, helps with my decision. A 30 hour in JAN would be fine with me! Especially, if I could do that for reserve (YS?). It's the double commute that concerns me, not NYC...so I will be gunning for ATL.
How quickly could I get to ATL (Assuming I start NY)...is that a once a year thing with the AE? What are some common destinations for the 717 out of ATL?
Thanks again!
