No too many, word is the others have slowed down as well. Delta is on a longer slow down than we are...

Delta overstaffing?
Word on the street that Delta is 850 pilots "heavy" or overstaffed? I don't work there so I don't know. Any Delta guys want to chime in? I don't have a dog in this fight, I just wish all newbies the best.

SWA has fewer imminent retirements and no fleet-to-fleet training downtime. The single fleet type makes SWA pilots far more productive than their legacy counterparts at places like Delta and even United, though their fleet is less complex than Delta’s.

Had a United newhire on the jumpseat. He was in the pool for 9 months and said that interviewees are being told 6-9 months in the pool there. While others have larger retirements at least currently there is still a substantial wait to be on property at some of the others.
