I think they’re still very, very interested in interviewing and hiring prior 121 guys. There is very much an imbalance of fos to captains here and so far the company has not stronghanded the senior fos to upgrade to captain in the way Envoy has. The FO life is just too good here once you’re 2 + years in (17-19 days off is not difficult), Do not be deterred from applying if you are prior 121. There is still a need there.
Additionally, attrition has picked up significantly so far in 2018 to Delta and other major / legacy / LCC airlines. there will be a continued need for candidates here...don’t think we’re ever going to see classes stop, I think they’re just slowing down a bit and have already hired enough guys and gals to fill classes of 20 through September.

The company brought on over 100 pilots over what they needed to hire last year. The 700s are all on property and they all weren’t supposed to be yet. The company staffed well. I think its just a short break while Delta figures out where the other planes are coming from. They keep on saying they only want 3 DC carriers.

I for one am proud of the work the team is doing.
And, to the 12 month spool up...not sure that’s the case here. We were close - real close - in ‘16. That was before my time, but I’m told we were entering the proverbial 11th hour. No reason to think we can’t get that cleared for takeoff quickly.

Delta is also planning on ramping up its college hiring program so there are additional pilots there.
Also, TSH has not cancelled their MRJ90 order, which means they are done with Delta.
I think if Delta really wanted to, we could have the Ejets running in 6 months. The 200 can be parked, or sent to Skywest, and then there are all the pilots you need.
The Cseries can fill the gap as it comes online in the second half of the year, replacing regional flying.

Would you quit it with the MRJ non-sense, until they take delivery of one, it means nothing. Because Skywest has 100 on order too, and they're Delta's golden child. And they have 100 175-E2's on order, which are also in violation of scope.

Skywest's orders are not firm, they made their orders conditional on scope relief, TSH did not.

Skywest is different because they have some leverage with the gate situation. There might be a carve out for them to operate for Alaska, I doubt it, but not a chance for TSH.

Delta is not going to ink a 5+ year deal with TSH without assurances, thus they would have already canceled the order, which is why we see that the rumors are intensifying on getting their flying.
