Who's gonna want to buy 9E from Delta? The industry today sucks. Republic cant find a buyer for Frontier, so what makes anyone think the market for buying a regional is good?

Long term.. Someone will. It's just like saying "how is regional X gonna find pilots with that contract" yet they get tons of applications.
It's the wow I never saw that coming factor.

Apparently Delta is very concerned about us having to hire in the fall, because they don't think that anyone will apply.
1.) They all but forced these pay rates on us, but now their concerned?
2.) staffing will not be a concern, because all they will just start giving up 200s if it does.
3.) I bet we get tons of apps dispite having awful pay rates and being on the bottom of a 2500 pilot list with no upgrades.

Just a thought, but I'm sure someone will disagree.

Qualified applicants?

I mean, they fully meet new ATP requirements coming in August and such?

No sarcasm, honest question.

Not fully qualified applicants, no. Anybody who meets all the mins isn't coming to Lakes. Your question is valid as I am sure there are stacks of resumes with 500 hours in HR and/or the Chief's office somewhere.

This thread delivers... IN before the deletion.

FlyingKat is a southern political analyst, and for whoever was asking where he was working, why does it matter. He probably started in aviation before you were a tadpole floating up sh!ts creek...

And which direction will the epaulets face?
