DL Hiring This Fall

[clippyrip]

Look, I know SWA guys work hard...but the reward they get outweighs that. Delta FO's make AF money. (Which is pretty sad). SWA FO's make Delta Capt money. And SWA Capts make the money that Delta guys bragged about a decade ago.

I just think with a union like Delta has, that they will be further down the pay scale in 10 years from SWA. I'm betting on another round of consessions between now and the end of the decade at Delta.

That would be inconsequential to you. You never made it to the big leagues. You remind me of a fat football fan living at his moms house doing Monday morning quarterbacking.

You are not in the game, just an outsider wish he was in.

for you Deltoids, could this be a bargaining chip during this merger? I mean, hire some extra pilots and use them as hostage during your contract talks? Right now, hiring pilots makes no sense for any carrier.

Um, no? Dalpa is starting contract talks soon, but that is allowed 18 months prior to the opener. No biggie there. This airline is a Spring and Summer airline. They plan for those seasons. DL is bringing 22 757s out of the desert, along with 6 767s I believe. That, and getting MD90s to replace out going DC9s means DL will probably be even more short next Spring or Summer than this upcoming season. Big retirements start a few years from now. This is all about growth, from within (planes in desert).

Tim Martins Rocks!

Imagine the competetive mins.

Does airlineapps have a box for spaceshuttle landings?

Hasn't Tim done that?! I'm recommending Tim Martins for an interview. That guy rocks!

Anyone know what the contractual flow-through terms are with Compass and Mesaba? I've seen and heard about fifteen different things.

Yep! Things are looking good! Maybe Dalpa will start with an opener of only a 10% consession...but end up settling for a 15% cut in pay, a plundering of any remaining retirement, and deleting all work rules.

Tanker A$$ - dont waste your time applying. Remeber me? You said you could get hired over here and you had the balls to send me your name. I will make sure that your loayality is know to those who make the decisions and you can remain a jobless tool.

If you want to make a bet of it - send me your application number so I can expedite the process of keeping you out of my airline you jackass.

From a guy about to be involved in a merger, this news is very comforting. I think there is a little more overlap in the NWA/DAL route system than the UAL/CAL system and yet over 2 years after the merger announcement, DAL is hiring! Congrats guys on a successful merger and a successful airline. Good luck to those who will be interviewing this Fall.

Whatever jester. If I want a job at Delta then it will happen. Don't worry buddy. I have a little while before I retire, and by then hopefully SWA will be hiring. If I have to get on at Delta, I am going to split as soon as I can find a better job at another carrier or UPS/FedEx.
