Default Update

I had a PD CA jumpseat with me to DAL last week; he said that April is planned for one class of 24 retirees. However; his opinion was that it could go as low as 14 since "more than a few" were not fully committed to returning for 1st year FO pay. He also said that he is hopeful that new interviews will begin "next winter." Also mentioned was that the interview format will change.....no more "tell me about a time......,." The LOI will remain.

Also--any predictions on how many of your Delta bros who have an option at SWA will go? Its a great company...but 2-3 years of seniority at mother Delta would be hard to give up. It will be interesting to see what the vector for each company looks like in 1-2 years....
Albie,

The "opps" email that we got before X-mas had 374 email address on it, so I assume that is the number of poolies. I forgot to take out the number of folks that have started class between Jan and now. I am not aware of how many folks are at mother D with the SWA option, but it would be hard to give up the 2 yr seniority to start all over again. Then again, there are other choices...

From what I understood, just one class of former retirees in APR, not to mean that is the only class in APR.

I don't know too many people that wouldn't jump from DAL to UPS, myself included, based on what is known today. Whether it is today or two years from now, but as always, your milage may vary.
