Probably not true, however, I am willing to wager a buck that come this time next year, every seat will be occupied by a Delta pilot who's been flowed back.
I'll take that bet.....
I think that DAL will make reductions, as they have already announced, but I think they will continue to trim in other ways. I think that we will continue to see furloughs at the regional level. I have talked to check airman and the CPO and they both agree that there will be a lot of SIL'S in the fall and a reduction in the line values. They have also stated that the boys in ATL would rather have the DCI carriers take the brunt of the domestic reduction instead of mainline this time around. Look at the Mesaba announcement today for example, I think there will be more of that. I have a friend in ATL on the 4th floor that says they are trying to prevent furloughs because the 93 furloughs are the some of the worst employees that Delta has for sick time usage, morale etc. So they are trying to prevent all the 07-08 hires from becoming another group of bitter employees.On contractual grounds? or do you not think DL will be making reductions?
Thats only part of it. They will be fat on pilots for the fall and winter and be about right for the spring and next summer. I think that we'll see another offer for the pirp if this first round doesn't get enough guys to go. Unfortunatley there are so many factors to consider that we all have to just sit back and wait to see what happens. It really all depends on the SOC.So you think DAL will float 1000 extra pilots just to preserve moral?
