No no no. Start indoc again so we can have ANOTHER explination for what ramp frequency is for the guys who already know everything and Delta is their first damn airline. You need 2 a day at the minimum, 4 is best.

i wish they would do a couple day Re-doc for those of us who never made it to the line.

I also really hope those classes that did not get the new hire dinner get the chance to get that. I am fortunate that my class got that. I know it may sound trivial, but that’s when it really sunk in for me “holy $h*t I made it to a major”

IMO, waste of time. Line Operations is the best form of indoc

A) Any idea on the number of displaced CAs that could exercise reinstatement, or can bid back to left seat because they don't have a seat lock from their MD?=12pt


BS said 700 - 800 As in the next AE next month or the one after.

I’m going to pull the pin and run for the nearest bunker. A sim guy says to expect around 50 737MAX’s next year. Sounds very similar to the number of 717’s we have.

Sim rumors only slightly better than check airman rumors

Impossible. Airlines only care about pilot ergonomics and climb rates, therefore we will be an all 320/757 fleet with maybe 787's because they look cool.

Quote: So what are the thoughts on the nature of the AE posted? The imbalances on the NB categories, some running 3:1 FO to CA, obviously aren't viable for operations. ATL717 looks the like the worst of the imbalances. While I do believe the company would love to have more pilots under a seat lock in order to limit some level of training for a time, that seems like actual chess master level planning, and manning projections and plans don't seem to look very far into the future, let alone scheming to lock pilots into seats.

The thought comes to mind, however, with the hinted CA and WB FO bid soon to follow:
1) Is the company really gunning for affected FOs to bid themselves into seat locks with the next bid?
2) Do the large FO vacancies portend CA openings in those categories to balance out?
A) Any idea on the number of displaced CAs that could exercise reinstatement, or can bid back to left seat because they don't have a seat lock from their MD?
B) Some of the FO openings seem incongruous with fleet size (717?), or previous drawdown (NYC73N), so what happens with these during a follow up bid? Gratuitous seatlock (717), go back to a larger category (NYC737), or?
3) How many of the affected pilots may end up bidding for their old seats, leading to SRQ?
4) How many pilots hadn't finished OE and would therefore require a full course? (200-300?)

BONUS: Bold predictions?
Bold prediction:

10 As and 10 Bs awarded for the Ilyushin-62 we aquire secondhand from air koryo

We still have guys adamant that nothing can replace the 757 while nearly every airline has lined up some replacement. What’s cool isn’t always what drives the dollars home.
