DL Hiring This Fall

[Flyer1015]

Yea then you can go spend 7000 for a type, do a ton of 5-6 legs days. Never go intl. and fly 85-90 hrs a month like the regionals do.
Still a good job, just different.
The pay will come back up at Delta.
When it does what will Tanker say, I'm sure you'll find something.

Who cares? Have you seen SWA's culture and pay? I'd take it in a heartbeat if offered.

What I heard, although 240 will be hired, 80 to 100 will be Compass flow through, 30-40 Mesaba flow throughs, ~~ 30 furlough by passers, so only 100 to 125 off the street hirees.

 

[wahoo250]

Where can I apply? Im guessing online somewhere?

 

[Ridgeback]

They just show up, which is why Delta wants to do the 200 person class...

I see your at ASA...My guess is no flow therefor I can see why you are trying to stir the pot. Let's face it from what I understand the Mesaba MEC, T.W. and company spent several years developing a relationship with the NWA MEC. This was in the making for TEN years. Pilots at both Mesaba and NWA supported each other. Example during NWA strike in the 90's Mesaba pilots could have flown and forced their MGT to pay them weather they flew or not. Mesaba pilots setteled for 1/2 pay and did lot's of AVRO charters to pick up stranded NWA crews. NWA pilots hated the avro and killed the the deal for 72 avros and capped them at 36..but guess what the NWA pilots put in their contract that only MESABA could fly those aircraft...ending a whipsaw with those airplanes.
As you see Mailine and Regional can have a very good relationship and work together. Each understanding they need each other. Not many people outside of XJ and NWA understand how this flow works and why this is a good idea.

And for those of you feeling that youv'e been cheated and the XJ and CPZ got the easy road to Delta...not so fast. If the folks over at Delta dislike that flow guy that much I'm sure training could be very difficult. The flow only states you get a class date not a JOB.

Doesn't matter to me. I'm just repeating what I've heard from people who know people at Delta.

Internet classic!

 

[inthepool]

So any speculation on what might happen to us Northwest Poolies? I'd go in a heartbeat...

 

[Captzaahlie]

Hey General...will u write me a rec...I hate LBB

LOL!
:beer:

 

[ACL65PILOT]

No idea on the NWA poolies.
Wait for a letter and submit an app. At a min you will reinterview if offered anything.

 

[JOPILOT]

I would like to see Delta bring those still interested in the flushed NWA pool on board.
I can only imagine how bummed those guys/gals must have been when they pulled the plug? Only seems fair to me?

[michael707767]

I think the poolies should be the first in line for a new interview, but I do not think it should be an automatic class date.

 

[jws717]

So the big question, what is RSV like at DAL? call out times? days off?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I would doubt that anyone that does not flow would just get a class date Michael.

Who knows though. They will tell everyone when they do off the stree hiring.

I'll bet there are more than 30 furlough bypassers that come back this time around. I'll also bet they have class sizes of at least 40 that way they can have the 20 Compass, 9 Mesaba, and the rest bypassers until they run out of bypassers. Then they should go to the guys in the pool from the last round of interviews at old NWA and DAL. I've also heard they can easily run two classes of 50 per month with the assets we now have in MSP. Before the merger it strained the system to push that many through the school house.
