I personally know a vol-F with about 10 years seniority at least that can't wait to come back. Was at NWA and took a vol-F several years ago for personal reasons. I don't see DAL alone causing much movement in the regionals. But it's better than DAL furloughing, that's for sure!

The latest AE/training bid released this week had over 300 vacancies due to increased flying. This includes displacements off the DC9. Another bid will be out for August and will start really taking into account next year's flying. Increased vacancies off that should translate into numbers greater than 300 for hiring. Whatever the number, it sure is a step in the right direction.

The global markets could prove a mess though.

Thats interesting. I was thinking it would be north of 75%. There aren't a lot of better gigs right now. Is there anyway to get hard numbers from how many are planning on going back? I guess we could start a thread with a vote for those that are out and assume it would be a good sample.

A good chunk of those guys are CA's at places like Jetblue, Airtran, etc. Itd be smart for those to stick around where they're at. Also a good number of them are military and are trying to stay in to get the full retirement. Some have moved on to other things also. I was told that 30 thus far have shown interest in returning but i suspect that number to increase a little once the letters get sent out. We'll see

Either way, hiring sure beats the alternative

Hi!

From other posts:
Compass is the 1st 20 per month, up to a max of 20?% in a rolling 12 mos period. Then, Mesaba is 9 per class, then off the street. The furlough bypass guys have until 2014 to return, which I'm sure most of them will, by that date.

DAL, JetBlue, AirTran, Allegient, Virgin America, Atlas, Southern, ATI, Compass, Eagle, Colgan, Great Lakes, + other domestic and a TON of foreign airlines are hiring.

I would think that sample would be skewed because only guys interested in coming back would read this message board. If you are not looking to come back why read up on the gossip?

Hi!

"The Big Break"???
No. It shows that things are improving over last year.

Barring a catastrophe, I think pilot hiring conditions for us (pilots) will gradually improve through about 2014/2015 and then?????????????????
