Delta hiring

[ACL65PILOT]

Second week is in question now... Unless ALPA caves, correction WHEN ALPA caves, and lets the E period back into play the training pipeline is full. Flight training is pretty well maxed in a couple respects. I would look for the end of May.

Wong, but now you know that!

Well Two bits, 240 will probably mean some off the street hiring in 2010 and early 2012.

FWIW, and this is my personal assessment only:

This is a min staffing number for summer 2011. They will reevaluate the block hour plan a few more times this year and if it looks good, that number will be raised.

What are you expecting? This is not flame....I'm just curious what a poolie thinks they are entitled to....

I believe all you want is an interview but how the order or who gets the first is up to Mother D since there is no rules or a policy be it Delta or NWA pool

Fair question. I don't feel entitled to anything. DAL obviously has no obligation to offer an interview to any of us. I just want a chance to interview.

At least somebody will hire!! Good sign!

Poolies ought to be offered jobs at the combined carrier. It takes big names with a lot of integrity to stand up for them, but it should happen-

passing a major airline interview is not an accomplishment that should be thrown out with the trash bc some pencil pushing geeks in upper management pulled the trigger on a merger.

No pilot worth a nickel would argue against it.

1. You interview for a position.
2. You are hired.
3. In between that time the position is no longer available.
4. 2-3 years later you should automatically be offered the job again???

I don't think this would fly at any company. Aviation related or not, especially considering there has been a merger during that time and going forward the "needs or "requirements" might have been restructured/changed.

Now offering a re-interview...that sounds a little more reasonable and I'm sure all of us are rooting for it.

It has happened.
AWA poolies were offered jobs at USAir after 3 years if I'm not mistaken.

I thought the pool only existed for 1 year and then it was flushed.

twobits and FBN are sure quiet since the announcement to hire in 2010. I'll bet that by 2013 when twobits claimed we would need to start hiring we will have hired close to 1000.
