If you were downgraded due to staffing issues, that is not the type of downgrade they are talking about
Technically you were displaced. The context this is talking about is busting a CA ride or something of the sort and having to go back to FO. Don't make it harder than it is! :) |

Well in that case I think it's best to update the app & sit tight. I know several people in the same situation who have interviews. One just received the email within the last 2 days.

Nice rumor though...hope it is true. If it holds true, this place will be a gold-mine for newhires joining now. I was also wondering, what will AMR's hiring boom be when they finally start hiring!? Whens the last time they've hired? |
80 CLAMP speaks the truth.

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. I'd watch indicators like unemployment statistics, GDP and our stock price. Any of those leading indicators typically filters through to block plans and staffing decisions in that order. Delta reacts very quickly to market conditions and genuinely tries to avoid hiring pilots that they might have to furlough. Overall, airline hiring tracks GDP very reliably with the average being about 4% growth yearly in between market fluctuations. Mainline hiring has fallen below the line because we've outsourced so much of it. Going forward it is hoped we will see normal patterns return. |

Does it really cost that much to assign a few individuals to staff a hiring department?

If they do stop for the first two thirds of 2011 it will be an approach they have never taken before. It costs a ton of money to start a hiring program only to start it and then suspend it after a few months.

Looks like the poolies of fNWA are getting called for interviews. Just had a buddy in the"pool" called for an interview. Very good on big D for giving these guys interviews.

It has been a very reliable indicator going into, and coming out of recessions. Right now, there are a lot of positive signs there. Airlines typically use Causal methods in forecasting which are only good for a couple of years at best. Again, there are positive indicators going forward so let's hope for continued improvement.
