DL wants 9E to have a signed contract with their pilot group (which has already conducted a strike vote).

They'll call you at 4pm on a Friday for a Monday start. |
Welcome to 9E if you end up getting a class date, and keep your head up...there is a lot of negativity in the industry and in the company right now, but if we can survive the merger/slump and get a contract things will be OK around here...of course that's a huge if. In addition, if the contract has any decent work rule adjustments, we might have a larger need for crews and lose a few way senior guys waiting for their bonus check...so you might get a little movement and a class date this year...maybe.

Thanks for the friendly welcome! I can not wait to get a start date. Hopefully it will be this year,

Nice source....but from what I heard, it's not true. They still are looking for pilots.
...just talked to a friend in Pinnacle H/R, Christina, and they plan to continue hiring through 2008. I wouldn't take this post seriously. (Don't mean to hijack the thread) |

yeah it should be. last time they did this it was a disaster. luckily i got in at the beginning of the new hiring spree back at the end of 05 and in a little over 2.5 years i have nearly 700 pilots below me. so just hang in there.

Yep. Waiting on the bday but I probably will not get my stuff in before the next vacancy. I am thinking I may want to plan the training around the holidays so I can be home cause lord knows after I upgrade I will work every holiday until I leave this place.

PIC time rules. Who cares if you have a lousy QOL for two years. If it gets you out of there it is worth it.

To a furlough maybe.

Right now, I'd probably be looking for a good place to hang out for a few years with a lower risk of furlough and good QOL. Actually if I were not already at a regional, I'd probably look for GA jobs where you could make more money while the industry shakes out. You're not going to lose much seniority with things slowing to a crawl (or going into reverse). |
