Delta is getting ready to hire!!!

The previous wag was 1000 pilots fat for the winter and even for the summer. Subtract 100. I doubt we would hire.

Looking for it, cant find it. Is it on Deltanet yet?

It's not on Delta net, but it is on Icrew. New thread on here as well. Doubt we will be hiring before 2011 now as we have now 98 seats open and 150 on furlough bypass.

How long do the furlough/bypass folks have before their options run out?

10 years. So in just a bit over a year if we don't start hiring, the 2001 furloughees will be ineligible to come back.

I only ask because awhile back I had a NWA (original) guy in the jumpseat and he said he was on bypass so "he could get his USMC retirement before having to make the decision to go back".
Sounded like a smart decision to me...he was awaiting the O-6 board so it seemed to me that he was making the right choice.

Not entirely true. If at the time the 10 years comes up and DAL isn't recalling then there is an additional 2 year extension. Most by-passers were from early 02' I believe. So they have until early 2014.

Baja.

Yep 2014.

How will their seniority work? Will they retain seniority or will they have to come in at the end of the list?
