The World Chief Pilot said the need 46 more pilots this year due to future aircraft acquisition and pilot attrition.
 
Sorry for less than positive news, but its 46 by this time next year. I'm sure they won't do it all at once however, with new hires here sometime this year.
 
A fair number of these hired will be in the right seat of the DC-10.
 
Pax. They're the ragged out 10s that ATA was going to use for parts, or they're really nice ones we're stealing from ATA (we're just gonna go take 'em), or they're the ones that GAL- formerly known as ATA Holdings ("Holdings" being a key word here for those folks easily confused by facts) purchased from NWA and is leasing to ATA, World and whoever the he!! else they want to in hopes of whipsawing as many pilot groups against each other as they possibly can, and maybe make a little money in the process. So yeah, they're pax birds.
Hope this helps.
 
The Alignment bid results came out and 35 new hires needed to fill current vacancies on the DC10 and MD11. Probably will be more once you include attrition and retirements.
 
Good to hear. I'm dying to get outta here! I know I've only been swimming for about 5 weeks, but I just want it NOW!!

Guys from my interview group got October class-anyone hear a Nov class coming around the corner or anything?? The sooner, the better!!
 
I would assume there should be another class or two before the years over. If I hear anything I'll post it. Good luck!
 
Sounds good! I hope you're right. Every trip is turning into "office space". "I show up 10 minutes late and go through the back door so Lumbergh doensn't see me......" "Then I just space out for about 2 hours and look like I'm actually doing work...."

Any info you get would be appreciated!!!
