I do not see how that could be possible.
so hiring not this year but what in the memo does it say about next year? I had a Delta pilot say that there will be no hiring next year too? I do not see how that could be possible.

I had a southwest jumpseater who has decided to jump to Delta when they start hiring. He also said he is not alone in thinking that way.
Wait a minute! If SWA is such a great place to work why is this going on?
Is Delta so much better? He doesn't live in a DAL base..
I do. Anyone that looks at a seniority crystal ball can see there is no real movement until about 2017. 81 mandatory retirments in 2013 and 132 in 2014. There's about 200 in 2015. This mass retirement wave really doesn't start until 2017. That's still five years from now. Anyone that actually looks at the numbers will realize that very few pilots are leaving before age 65. We just had an early out program that had about 170 guys leave. Most of them were younger, but the positions were never replaced so it doesn't help us. FWIW, we are still overstaffed. When we do start hiring, factor in about 200 furloughees that will come back plus the flow-ups. There might not be off the street hiring for 4 more years.
Thanks GL. I know the wave is coming. I'm at a decent place now..JB..but things internally aren't what they should be. Plus, I live in ATL with no chance of selling my severely underwater house.
Speaking of "underwater", my log books were in the ATL floods of 2009. My house had water in it for 3-4 days...ten feet of water. I have my log books, but they are in awful shape. I'm working on all hours since that event on an electronic log. I can still bring my old logs to the interview...but not without giving out gloves and masks to anyone to handle them.
Suggestions?
