DAL & NWA Recall Guesses?

[NuGuy]

NWA pilots think everyone will be back by the end of this year. Management thinks all pilots will be back by the end of next year. Either way NWA will be hiring in late 2007 or early 2008. Given another diasaster doesn't happen to this industry.

I've seen deli counters with less bologna.

Keep dreaming...right before NWA starts to recall, a merger will hapen.

If you are a NATCO type waiting for your "number", you'd be better off going to a regional.

The way my last four years have been I think you just might have something here. The PNR and then a merger then more layoffs! Ouch!! Hope not. I think recalls will start in early 07'

All part of the coming hiring boom and pilot shortage

Then why is pilot pay not increasing? You never seem to answer that one, Yip.

It's all economics.

You will see increases on the lower end if they can not get or retain enought qualified pilots. However with the coming semi PFT program coming for the regionals, where in conjunction with your college courses you pay for classes on how to become a RJ F/O so you can flow into a job at Mesa, Pinnacle, etc pay may not go up at those places.

That would be evidence of a pilot shortage. I doubt we will ever see it.

That is evidence of a surplus of pilots. Not a shortage.

How many still on furlough? How many bypassed?

Different view

Goggles I look at those moves to mean there is growing experience shortage and airlines are taking remedies to increase the pilot work force due to the impending and growing shortage. I recruit, I am in the market place on a regular basis, it is harder to find qualified pilot now that is was last year and certainly two years ago. Much more work to keep the same number of pilots in a pool that evaporates at a faster rate.

So is pay going up?
