When does service to these exciting new destinations begin?

Since the company is advertising these new routes as a means of luring new pilots, we must have concrete plans to begin service? Right?

The company wouldn’t advertise destinations as if we service them today when they’re many years away, would they?

The XLRs could make it a reality but I’ll believe it when I see it. That would require the company to either fork out hotel money or find a way to put crew rest areas into a NB and that will eat into Barry and Frankie’s 3rd homes.

I saw those... the fact that they are putting not 1... not 2.... but 3... and ONLY 3 destinations that we DO NOT service and have not been told we will be servicing is odd to me. My girlfriend also watched the ad and asked me if we even flew there, She was in shock that they would put that in a recruiting ad.

Where is this ad?

Its on YouTube. Not sure why they couldn’t have just picked 3 cities we actually serve.

Bullet points:
- faster path to seniority
- higher total comp in the first 10 years (than where, a regional?)
- fleet growth taking us above and beyond (DUB-HNL-LIM at top of slide)
- better base options
- schedule flexibility
- long term, stable employment

It's obviously complete nonsense. We don't have ETOPs, nor have we even begun to work on it. It's false advertising. Period.

You get paid more in the first ten years due to us doing mostly 1-2 day trips. Less opportunity to get divorced since you’re home more. Hence you make more.
Full disclosure: I’m practicing to be an airline executive next Halloween. Hope I’m getting there.

Aside from the sleaziness of it, I genuinely wonder the legality of a publicly-traded airline using pie-in-the-sky “destinations” in official company recruitment materials. Is this both false advertising and possibly an SEC issue with false forward-looking statements?? I mean who does this? Creating rumors as a means for recruitment. Unreal.

Officially updating my Delta app this place is a joke.
