Delta New Hires

[Quack]

Any Delta people have an idea when they will assign new hire class dates for January or if they have already started placing people into classes? Thnx

Last recall class is 1/6. Heard new hires sometime after that. Also heard that flow ups are being held at compass so maybe all new hires after the last recall class. I know nothing more.

I am in the last recall class.

Rumors abound stating 600 max per year, primarily because there will plenty of internal trainings due to continual retirements and resulting upgrades etc. 5000 pilots are due to retire in the next 10 years, with 2020-2023 having over 800 pilots retire each of the 4 years, and then 650 in 2024. When one top guy retires off of a wide body Capt seat, up to 8 or 9 people move up also, thanks to the different plane types and currently different pay for each plane. (Not much pay banding except 744/777 and 765/330). So, if 800 Capts leave in one year, you can see the resulting training that could happen, and that could mean huge upward movement over a few years. Good times....
