There are 6 more firm orders for the 777 (verified in earnings report) as well as options for more. Each one means about 40 pilots and the hiring folks told me they need to hire again.

Of course, anything can change but if you have a chance to get some visibility and aren't lining Kit Darby's pockets, it's a great opportunity.

Good Luck!

Do you think with all the international expansion and the purchase of NWA they'll take some of NWA's international out of BOS and finally make it crew base again.

got the email, not planning on going, don't think anyone would remember my face in 9 months, besides I have 2 internal LORs so will wait it out...

Anyone else get the email about being offered an interview when they resume hiring from the CP?

BOS is already a flight attendant base...as far as Delta adding new crew bases...IMO they're going to have to close or significantly reduce either MEM and/or CVG (or others) to realize some "synergy..." I think it will be two years or more before they'd even think about a new pilot domicile.

Incidentally, it will probably be around two years before any massive "synergy-achieving" changes take place...a fact the company must have been aware of when agreeing to 24 month furlough "protection."

another example of the "rent-seeking" going on in airline hiring... i can't believe delta is encouraging guys to spend a bunch of $$$ to smack up. smells of a racket if you ask me. this is the only industry i can think of where *candidates* pay to enter a "job fair."
