Delta to hire 300 pilots this year

[atpcliff]

Hi!

ArtVandalay: I assume you are just flaming, to see our reaction.
If you were actually being serious, do you just make stuff up?
Compare the number of times, % of pilots, EVER furloughed by DAL, with everyone else: AA, UAL, USA, NWA, etc., etc.
You are SO wrong!

I heard from somebody on the job that the VP of Diversity (What's that pay?) has made public statements that the First All African American crew (ASA) Captain will be the first hired and the F/O the second when we turn it on again......

Hi!

BillL: U R wrong. If they don't work for Compass, they won't be in the top 20 of the new hires, and if they aren't at Mesaba they won't be 21-29.

The ACMI co. I worked for moved me from NBO to LFW (Lome, Togo). So, after finishing my tour of East Africa (12 countries in Africa plus the Comoros Islands and Yemen), I am now touring West Africa...11 countries there so far. They said I am going to Europe for an MD-83 PAX contract, but I'm not holding my breath! They said I would be in Dubai by Aug....2009!!!! last time!

And if 300 of the bypassers want to return, none of the above will be in there either.

A supposed survey went out, and only 55-60 have said yes so far.


Bye Bye--General Lee

interesting, I never saw any survey.

Ok all you Captain Obvious smart guys.....good LORD!

Of course, once all the bypasses, then the compass-measba mess.....then those 2.

With no horse in the race, just thought I would say that Delta is advertising for pilots on the Georgia Department of labor web site. For those registered with the Dept of Labor it might be helpful. Others can view and apply as well. Look for jobs in Georgia, Metro 28 counties, under transportation. Good Luck......

If hired on, what likelyhood is there of getting assigned a NY base? How much flying out of Newark, NJ is there? IF assigned a NY base, how does that work as far as flying out and in? Do you leave from EWR and end up in JFK? I live in the NY area and am interested in knowing how a multiple airport base works.

I'm sure you're going to have to fight tooth and nail for that plum assignment.

New York bases go pretty Senior industry wide.

LGA, EWR, JFK...Hell, people line up in droves to fly outa' those places...

If you don't get NY right away, you'll have no trouble getting it shortly afterward. Probably on the MD88.

As for starting and finishing a trip, they all start and end at the same airport. If you start at LGA, that is where you finish.

Your kidding right? I always thought they were junior...

 

[Helos2Galaxy]

Ditto what he said. Sometimes (like I am on now) my trip started at LGA and I have 3 JFK layovers and put up in Manhattan. Living on Long Island, I tell the company I don't need the hotel and get per diem for the whole trip, going home every nite on the LIRR.

Yes I have seniority on the 88, but average less than 5 nites in a hotel by doing trips like this...

How many classes per month? How many people per class?
