Agreed, and yes he did. They do not anticipate looking at apps again until Late Summer.

I wouldn't get too optimistic, we say these things...but we don't know what the fall slowdown for us is going to look like yet.

...i'm just sayin'

From what they told me this had already been accounted for. They were to start hiring sooner and more people. Now it will be on an as needed basis.

Yo, ACL65 have you heard of an AE in July? I heard a rumor one was going to be out in July instead of August.

Thx

ACL, i know that is what the talk is....I'm just saying, we are ALL in a serious state of flux w/ oil, economy, industry where it is right now.

I'm not counting new hires until they are on the list under me. Hope it is true, however.

I have little doubt that the morons running the NWA MEC will somehow screw up / further delay the SLI so that I'll be junior to these future DAL newhires even though I was hired at NWA in 2000.

While I was a little surprised to see the reduction in service, I have to say this is what I love about our Network guys. They think like a cold day trader when it comes to making money. If a route may underperform in a given time period, they pull the plug or reduce frequency to go somewhere else to make money. If you don't think that's not how the game should be played, we may very well be the only legacy to make a profit this quarter. That should speak volumes for how we are positioned.
We've been doing that for quite some time and you've got the key guy who orchestrated it over here.

Hauenstein helped turn Continental around and it looks like he'll do the same for Delta.

Our geniuses in management forgot to order enough wide-bodies so we won't be serving Kuwait, (IAH-KWI, see oil) or Moscow. Looks like its time for a pay raise for Larry and friends.

Would you guys from the inside suggest applying now or wait until they actually start looking at looking for candidates?
