In Indoc here now, the word is 450 for the year. They will be having 2 classes of 50 in Mar and then back to 2 classes of 35 thereafter. More would be nice, but they are trying to keep a good pace for the needs.

Does anyone from the Feb 18th class have an idea of how much back up there is in training? In other words how much time between the end of indoc and the start of systems for the various aircraft?

Thanks

First of all, welcome to Delta! Your gonna love it here. I was in class early 07 and they said they were going to hire 200 for 2007. BB himself told me that they always say they will hire less than they plan on. I guess it looks bad if they say they are going to hire 400 and end up only hiring 200. So, they say they are going to hire 200 when they know it will be more like 400. If they are saying 450 for the year, I'd bet money it will be more than that. By the end of April they will have hired 310. Only another 140 for the remainder of the year is probably a little low. I'd put my money on around 700 or so for 2008. And yes, even with the merger mess going on it will be around 700.
