At the CVG meeting, they did not say anything about hiring continuing. They did say that if the economy remained strong, we could see hiring start again around August 2011.

Thats what I heard at the ATL base meeting. Another 300 or so in 2011 around summer or fall time frame.

They inferred a similar hiring rate in the new york meeting, but why would they open and close the hiring department? Once it is spooled up, I don't see them closing it to re-open it six months later.

Apparently there is a lot more cost involved then just that. I don't know the specifics, but that's what I've been told. Also, historically once airlines start hiring they keep going. It's not typical for them to hire such a small amount(especially compared to the size of our pilot group). I think hiring will continue, but if DAL doesn't make statements of solidity, then there are no grounds for lawsuits. Think about it.

Getting back to the addendum for a minute and the part about being downgraded; here is the question:
"15. Have you ever been the subject of an evaluation board or been removed from flight status, downgraded, or failed any portion of flight training either civilian or military?"
I have been downgraded from FO to FE due to staffing issues, so for me the answer to this question if taken literally is "yes". However, when the entire question is taken in context one would take it as meaning downgraded for performance reasons.
Right now I have it checked as "yes", but I don't want to raise any unnecessary eyebrows either.
Any suggestions?
