Although, in all fairness, there is a very high level of optimism (which some would call "kool-aid") during indoc. I wouldn't imagine they would say the "f" word until they ask for our IDs back. It sounds like you're using some analytical skills and keeping things in perspective, though, which is good. |

Hey all,
I'm a returning furloughee who is in the current Indoc class. Today we were addressed twice about the upcoming "hiatus" in hiring and new hire training. Looks like management is very focused on holding down rumors and speculation. Also, looks like new hire training will no doubt be put on hold sometime after the April classes. BB wasn't real specific as to exactly when but he did say that the cost of oil is causing a relook at the numbers, at least for awhile. International will stay the priority and domestic may see some short term reductions'changes. As for the "F" word, wasn't used and the mood was decidedly upbeat overall. Having been through this before, unfortunately, I can attest it is the nature of the industry. Hopefully, the oil price mania will recede during or after the summer. That seem's to be DAL's expectations...and life will go on as previously planned. Welcome back, and thanks for the update. |
Thanks RVR, actually very good to be back. Walking around the campus today felt right..and its been 6+ years. The same old haunts, the same crappy speedline. :)
Spliff, there is a fair amount of kool aid served up during indoc. I was consuming big time, last time. Today, the guys and girls were much more intuitive and sober. Very healthy overall, I think. I was also impressed with DAL's mature approach. Quiet professionalism, I would frame it. |

My DAL friend told me today DAL is the best airline with the brightest future and I need to get my stuff in ASAP. I told my wife, came home, and read all of the DAL threads....funny how things change

Heard from a usually reliable source that effective today, all future classes are being put off for the foreseeable future. On the bright side, no furloughs should occur...

Thanks for the update Deez. I sure hope Capt. Kraby continues what he's been doing. I think you'll get a lot more info from other guest speakers as the week goes by. On the other hand, Brian has been very good at disseminating info to us, especially dispelling rumors and such.

Just Asking...
Why would DAL continue hiring as planned when they announced on 18 Mar (ATLANTA-AP) that they are cutting capacity by an extra 5% and offering voluntary severance packages to 30,000 of its 55,044 full time employees?
Sorry, not trying to rain on anyones parade but maybe some DAL guys on here could help with the inside story.:confused: |

We are simply getting rid of some 2000 employees, 30.000 got the offer. I think (read hope) that we are just replacing the old FA with younger ones that pass the albow test - good for business!:D |
