Anyone have any accurate information on who Delta would place in the next new-hire class if/when that would happen?
Considering:
1) Delta does have pilots on voluntary furlough and I assume they would have the first shot.
2) Compass flow-up: The requirement for Compass pilots is 30 months and they must be Captain. How many per month would flow-up from Compass? What if all Captains at Compass had the 30 months and were eligible? Would they all flow-up as quickly as training permits?
3) Mesaba flow-up?
4) Other DCI carriers? I don't think there are anymore beyond Compass and Mesaba?
5) Pilots hired by DL and NW but classes cancelled?
6) Off the street but very qualified?
I realize the trend is showing no hiring for the near future but what pilot groups will make-up the next 1000 pilots hired at Delta mainline.
