For all us guys outside of delta. Just how big are these pilot bases? I would assume atl md-88 is the largest sub-category.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Well, it ATL the 7ER has about 510 FO's and the 73N has about 260 FO's and the 88 has about 480 FO's. ATL alone is 3500 pilots.

Most categories are the size of most regional airlines.

Agreed.

DTW is something like 2200, and MSP slightly less than that..

When the 75 domestic is folded in, the 7ER category is going to be gigantic. Something like 260+ airframes.

M88 and 319/320 are pretty huge in their own right.

As a new hire in the Sept. 6th class I am looking forward to flying with Delta. Several question I have are -- How many days off for bottom reserve pilots?? Short callouts vs. long callouts -- How many do you get a month and how many hours to get to the airport for duty??
Looking forward to flying with ya all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You get 12 days off in a 30 day bid period or 13 days in a 31 day period. You can be assigned up to 6 short call days....otherwise you sit long call.
