You know nobody "officially" came out and said, "WE ARE GOING TO HIRE A TON".

However, almost everybody "lecturing us" including the FAA inspector assigned to DAL, indicated that "unofficially" DAL is going to hire a bunch. Of course, unless a Hurricane, Virus, Terrorist, etc., etc., etc. happens!

I did witness a bunch of sharp, crisp and motivated gentlemen interviewing while I was there.

Good luck to all of us!

I haven't heard that. In fact, I heard that we may actually have to have a very small pool develop, as more people than expected returned from furlough bypass, and fewer than expected of those bypass returns went on long term MLOA.

If my math is right, that means that, so far, 64 accepted recall. Don't know if there's a place to find out what assignments they took, though.

Primary all were 320 in MSP and DTW. There was one or two that chose the DC9 from what I remember.

I think that is a shady number. I think they are at a hard 305 for 2010 and some poolies to start off 2011 if we start the hiring machine up. The FBR + off the street adds up to 305.

We were told that training will end in Oct. They were hopeful that there would be an 'ok' to train from the BOD for Jan 11'. Fingers crossed the cycle continues. Good luck to all.

Baja.

I think the people in charge told us that the bypass recall guys would have at the latest until October to submit their 30 day notice, thus enabling them to go to a NOVEMBER class. (30 day notice)

I am not sure the economy is out of the woods yet, so conservative hiring is understandable. I much prefer to run lean than to hire a bunch of guys only to have to furlough them when we miscalculated.

That said, there are a lot of things going on that if implemented would equate to a lot of new hires.
