Delta new hire class makeup going forward...

B6 is not going to happen. Sen Schumer would have a heart attack.

I actually agree with you. Always stated that as well. If DAL wanted to lose 1 bln on a 2 bln dollar purchase price then it could go though, but the divestiture and overlap would be ugly.

2014 and we will be hiring by then. All WILL have the option to return.

Just curious about the hiring numbers expected per month. Regarding the rumored 65-70 pilots needed, would DAL's training facility be able to handle that sort of volume? Especially concidering the subsequent triggered movements/bids that are awarded with those already on property.

Does anybody think DL will hire in 2012?

A recent letter from our VP of Flt Ops said hiring "COULD" start as early as late 2012.

A lot has to do with how many senior bubbas take the early retirement currently offered. The target is 300.

Recent memo was significant hiring as a result of the new pilot contract and upcoming retirement bubble. 7,000 over the next 10 years.

Just finished cq this week and our instructor was the head of hiring on the last group of hiring. He claims they will start the hiring up this fall again as SD already speculated.

I heard the same thing from one instructor, but a different one said August of next year.
