Delta to hire 300 pilots this year

[Truckdriver]

They'll hire 300 this year and layoff 500 in three years. I would never go to delta, they are too layoff happy.

Yeah, you should go to a place like Flexjet that isn't "layoff happy".

I think it's been almost 8 years since Delta has furloughed and we have hired close to 1000 pilots since 2007 with no furloughs. Not quite sure if that puts Delta in the "layoff happy" category.

You sound like the same idiots that told me that when I got hired back in 2007.

Sounds like you would bust the psych exam anyway for being a debbie downer.

Always a chance, but highly unlikely. If you feel that strongly though, don't apply and good luck to you. I think we have a bright future here and with that last AE results, a lot of movement.

Quick question about the Delta app. I'm still waiting on a few internal recs. If I submit the app now will the aforementioned pilots still be able to upload their recs?

Yes, you just have to re-update it on airline apps after you see the letters on your application. They will show up on the app after you re-update it.

Really? All I am doing is moving backwards! Like your optimism though....

Just send us your name and we'll make sure you don't change your mind... for your own protection, of course.

He's not a Flexjet pilot- he's a latex salesman.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Delta's the only legacy airline that hasn't furloughed this time around. I count my blessings everyday.

 

[54fighting]

This is bit of a drift but I am curious as to whether anyone has lost a logbook and how did you address it if you interviewed? I lost mine about 2 years ago but I have trip sheets from my current company that covers the past two years plus training records. Any advice???

 

[ACL65PILOT]

You can pull your last application for a license or type as it will have your flight time as you reported it. If was accepted so therefore it is a controlling document.

Just what I was told many pears ago.

Thanks ACL

Hi!

ArtVandalay: I assume you are just flaming, to see our reaction.
If you were actually being serious, do you just make stuff up?
Compare the number of times, % of pilots, EVER furloughed by DAL, with everyone else: AA, UAL, USA, NWA, etc., etc.
You are SO wrong!

No more NBO?
Where is LFW?

I heard from somebody on the job that the VP of Diversity (What's that pay?) has made public statements that the First All African American crew (ASA) Captain will be the first hired and the F/O the second when we turn it on again......

Hi!

BillL: U R wrong. If they don't work for Compass, they won't be in the top 20 of the new hires, and if they aren't at Mesaba they won't be 21-29.

The ACMI co. I worked for moved me from NBO to LFW (Lome, Togo). So, after finishing my tour of East Africa (12 countries in Africa plus the Comoros Islands and Yemen), I am now touring West Africa...11 countries there so far. They said I am going to Europe for an MD-83 PAX contract, but I'm not holding my breath! They said I would be in Dubai by Aug....2009!!!! last time!

And if 300 of the bypassers want to return, none of the above will be in there either.
