23,000 new pilots a year come on. Boeing in is the business of selling planes what are they supposed to say were stagnant and the US industry just isn't buying airplanes? If you think we need 97,000 pilots by the year 2029 just wait. Single pilot cockpits are allready being worked on followed...
The 10 American Industries That May Never Recover
8. Airlines. The number of pilots, flight attendants and ground crew workers is shrinking as consolidation and the recession have hurt the industry badly. Mergers in the last two years, between Delta and Northwest and United's merger with...
Sam balls you must ride Delta all the time because you seem to know the layout well. I still disagree people fly by price. On furlough I traveled extensively for my job and I guarantee if the flight was cheaper, but we had to ride on a DC3 out of a bat cave they would have put us on it. (that...
The thing about all the stupid posts about our (I admit) lakluster terminal at JFK, is people DON'T care about anything but price anymore. If you think for one second that people will pick AA or Jet Blue because the terminal is better (which they are) you better not try management stick to...
Anyone remember this quote "those airplanes we wouldn't want to fly those". We are going to have to fight like he!! in order to take back flying. I just hope our pilots are willing to fight for it (which they never have been before)...

As far as hiring we will have to wait and...
As far as recall the original DAL furloughees got ten year recall rights. The first furloughees were sent packing on Nov 1 2001 (trust me I know). They would be inelegible on Oct 31 2011. When the mega mistake (I mean merger) happened it gave the recallees rights that the NWA guys had which...
Nope the traffic sucks from Farmingldale too! There is no good commute to JFK. ATL to NYC is FULL of commuters good luck with that one. Then you have a 20 dollar cab ride and forget about it with weather or snow...
That is what I wanted to know. I know that the Delta Pilots supposedly "caught" it but did they really comply. I have witnessed some underhanded dealings before and was curious if this was going to happen again.
