DAL early retirement 2009/2011
Can anyone recall the number of pilots that took DALs early retirement package circa 2009? Were there enough takers to create major "AE-like" movement or were the changes largely transparent?
Heard a similar offering may be in the works.
Thanks,
Cubdrick

It coincided with the parking of the 747 classics... only 250 or so took it. I suppose it took some pain out of that.

Red Flag: Renewed interest in a PERP means Delta has more pilots than it wants.
Delta is smart to try to furlough off the top (the more expensive employees) before furloughing off the bottom (the least expensive employees). Still, this is not a positive sign for staffing overall, despite the fact that upward movement might result.

Republic Airways
Republic Airlines is offering reduced hiring minimums for ATP grads. ATP grads get reduced minimums (1200 TT & 500 ME) with ATP’s Regional Jet Programs. (Updated 11/4/10)

Yes that is not a good sign at all. Especially for someone near the bottom. Where are these rumors coming from? Can anyone confirm that this is being considered? The last I heard was they still weren't sure if they will be hiring later this year for 2012 flying.

Isn't there a tax incentive for those on the DALs side with regards to health insurance? If you are getting PCGB money then ones health insurance can be tax deductible up to like $800 a month. I am not sure many of the DALs Capts know this, or I'm just a young guy and don't realize that they all know it down to the last $
