Delta 8/6 New Hire Class Awards

765? Are you sure about that?

Yeah I am sure. Two guys, #1 and #2 in the class. The actual equipment is "called" B765, 757 and 767 domestic. There are 27 total, with 9 military, and 18 civilians. Their background were 121 regional, major and legacy, no fractional or corporate guys in this class.

Good luck.

765 = 767-400er

 

[180ToTheMarker]

I think the 765 is the -400 and 767 designates 767-757 domestic. The two senior guys got domestic.

756 is what they call the 767/757 at CAL. At Delta, the domestic category is called the 767, the international is called 7ER, and the 767-400 internatinal is called the 765.

I spoke with the ATL CP today and no one in the 8/6 class got the 765. Two got the 767 (domestic 767/757 category).

Yeah, our 765 is a seperate category from the 767-400 (essentially it is our INTL category for the 767-400, even though we now don't have a domestic version). The 757/767 category is probably the 756---not the 765. Numbers can be confusing.

What are the projected reserve times for the newbies in ATL for each aircraft? I would think the 757/767 would be a very long time. Am I correct? Just looking at the pay advantages versus quality of life. At least the reserve system looks much better than my current company. Thanks for all the info.

 

[tbkane]

For Sept there are 73 reserve lines for MD88 ATL. With 195 new hires is ATL for the 88 reserve should be about six to eight months. I have been on reserve since April and I now have 36 under me for Sept.

 

[regionalcap]

Would you have picked another aircraft if given a choice, TBkane?

 

[tbkane]

No I am a commuter and I want quality of life and seniority. I wanted and got MD88 ATL until I can hold a line on the 75/76 in ATL.
