I see some people talking about being part of the 56 on the list. Is it 42 or 56? Did I miss something?

The company stated that there will be 42 recalled - the notice was sent to 56 and so far at least 12 of us bypassed (35 accepted). Not sure if they'll sent out more notices if more people bypass. Guess we'll find out on Monday.

Delta Connection carriers are adding pilots to their rosters to prepare for more flying this summer as Mesa Air operations wind down.

Delta reached an agreement last month with Mesa Air to keeping flying commuter flights during a gradual wind-down process through August. Other Delta Connection carriers will add operations during the transition.

“While we are working closely with Mesa on a smooth transition schedule for their aircraft to leave the operation in the fall, additional hiring at each of the carriers is required to meet the high summer demand, increased utilization and backfill of those routes,” said Don Bornhorst, v.p.-Delta Connection.

Atlantic Southeast Airlines said this week it is recalling 42 furloughed pilots this month. The Delta Connection carrier is adding four CRJ-700 aircraft to its fleet, which now includes 160 aircraft.

Compass Airlines has announced plans to immediately begin hiring at least 50 pilots this summer to backfill anticipated attrition because of Delta’s hiring plans. Compass operates a fleet of 36 Embraer E-175 jets, with crew bases in Minneapolis/St Paul, and Detroit.

Comair said it will recall at least 70 pilots and 40 flight attendants who had been furloughed.

Hiring huh? That's quite different than recalls there Don.

Sorry if this has already been discussed...

What are your current recalls getting in terms of ground/sim training and how long have these furloughs been out on the street?

The effective date on all recalled furloughs was Sept. 1 2009.. 9 months on the sidelines. I just started my recurrent ground training online, then there will be a day of HR stuff, 2 days of RGT classroom, then a few (projected 2) sim sessions, a PC and IOE until deemed competent by the instructor.

When has that buffoon ever gotten the story straight? What does the VP of "Delta Connection" actually do anyway? There is no company called "Delta Connection". It is nothing but a brand! Why do they need a specific VP to put out press releases? Typical Delta inefficiency. No wonder Airtran is killing them.

Ummm, perhaps you didn't notice that AirTran has DECREASED their flights in and out of ATL? I don't think you can say AirTran is killing Delta.:rolleyes: The two airlines aren't even comparable because of their completely different business/operating plans.

Hey Johnso29, do you know what the Airtran loads are for Narita, Beijing, Paris, Moscow, and Heathrow?

Also, did you read the part of the memo that says Compass WILL be hiring? Pure fact, not inaccuracy. And I also believe he referred to each airline by their name, and called Atlantic Southeast a 'Delta Connection' carrier. Also, Atlantic Southeast is a part of Delta's inefficiency or efficiency.

Any idea of how many of those sent letters actually accepted recall? Is ASA going to have to send out additional letters?

Originally Posted by gtechpilot (Post 822731)

As of last night, 38 accepted, 12 bypassed and 6 have not responded.

A lot of the bypasses are probably due to the fact that they're making more money doing something else. I'd milk that too as long as I had a seniority number. Might as well wait until the rest of the furloughs are called and get yourself back to poverty for the shortest amount of time. Just makes sense doesn't it?

Anyone have any idea when these 42 pilots are scheduled to be trained and back on line? Makes no sense to me with the position notice showing the vacancy for 10 CA and 10 FO on the 700/900 and 4 total vacancies for the 200 for a total of 24 vacancies system wide. Not sure if anyone has any details as to when the 4 aircraft will be added to the schedule. They never really said anything with certainty.

The first recall class started today. The 4 Horizon airframes are shown going into service in the middle of July as 70 seaters (no first class).
