Latest and greatest at Delta...

Things change constantly. Who would have thought that DL might be looking at AMR? That was a surprise to many.


Godspeed!

Would Delta merge the AA pilots as AA did with TWA and Reno ?

That's now illegal. Bond/McKaskil ammendment did away with that. Also most mergers go to arbitration, although some choose not to abide by it or just avoid it all together. And, I don't think DL and AMR could merge together as a whole, with pieces probably being the only viable scenario. DL already has a big NYC presence, and so does AA. Throw in ORD in betweeen DL's MSP and DTW bases, and LAX also being redundant, some of it doesn't seem to make sense. But, a couple of the bases may be looked at.


Godspeed!

My brother in law just finished AF flight training, and graduated first in his class. He ran to the C-17 because he knew he'd be flying, and not joining an unmanned aircraft group. The class immediately in front of him went 100% UAV. Since that time does not qualify you for logged flight time at a Major, or any where else for that matter, where else is the pool of pilots going to come from?????? Even the military is drying up.

e .

No UPT class has dropped 100% UAVs.

 

[Fubijaakr]

Don't knock it. The more flying they farm out the better. I am hoping to get on an MD 80

Somehow, I don't think they'll be sending any MDs to Gojets.

Even if you are correct, it doesn't replace the fact that the manned aircraft slots in the AF are narrowing. How many aircraft are being replaced by the MQ9, Global Hawk, Etc?????? Quite many. Pretty soon, it's going to be C-130's, C-17's, F-22's, F-35's, and UAV's......oh, and maybe some UC-21's. That way you can bust tail all the way through flight training to fly a Pilatus in pergatory.......

There are well over 10000 aircraft active in the four services of the US Armed Forces.

Not quite extinct...

Where would you fall into this merger mr. delta pilot? (Outside looking in!!)

From what I'm seeing at ASA- lots of people that were holding out for DAL are now applying to USAirways. I can see the pool getting shallower and shallower, from where I sit. I'd say a healthy 70% of the Captains at ASA are not going to move on, without the liquidation of their employer.

From what my contacts are saying- when DAL starts to hire, they intend to do so indefinately for a VERY lengthy amount of time. It's getting to the point that ASA (ExpressJet) and the DAL MEC is in talks with management to establish a pilot pipeline between the two companies- a sort of flow. This is strictly theory for now, but it is being discussed as an option.

Correct. The target date for the first class in mid fall, but that can move based upon projections. Hiring will not be crazy at first; 300ish a year, but the projection is for indefinite hiring. 7000 pilots gone in the next 13 years. Tops out at almost 900 retirements a year for three years in the early 20's.

AN acquisition will change all of this though.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Internal Delta memo released late last year (2011) already stated no planned hiring for 2012.

Hiring done late this year is for the summer 2013 Block requirements. They should be up from 2012, unless Europe craters.

 

[titans10]

Hopefully flying the MD90.

If you think it will be at your present company keep dreaming.

You are such a tool!!!

Undercutting yourself.....Flying an MD-80 for 50G's a year!!! All that "prestige" fulfills your SJS and doesn't fill your wallet. You should be PRAYING Delta keeps scope.

Besides, you probably tell all your friends and family you "fly for Delta" anyway....

Jackhole!

1500 hours. You have been in this industry a year at most. You work at gojets. If I had gojets on my resume I would be hopeing for an md90 at my company too since no other company will probably ever consider you again. Especially as more and more people on hiring commitees at majors start coming from the regional airlines. Many people never forget my friend. Do yourself a favor and stop feighning over an MD90 and start learning how to actually fly that crj you are in.

[Jar Jar]

Even DLNet says Gojet is awesome, cuz we are: "The addition of G7 represents Delta's commitment to enhancing the customer flight experience by developing new services, and strengthening the DL and Delta Connection brands."

When was the last time they said that about any old MD80 or somethin? CRJs rock!

USCG bretheren are actively engaged in the Persian Gulf as we speak. USN, USMC and USCG pilots all go through the same training, we all wear the same wings of gold.

I'm not sure, but I THINK he was making fun of the Air Force, by leaving them out,... as in they're not really "in the military." I suppose only the Navy guys got that joke.

If you want to piss somebody off, just remind a marine that the USMC is actually part of the navy.

 

[rod farva]

The AF isn't a branch anymore...it's basically the DMV with guns.

 

[CFI2766]

Ouch, man! The Air Force is the most important of the services!!

Now.. .. .. where is my invite to the reunion of the 347th Composite Warrior Stapler Repair Squadron....

Now that is funny, you think pilots have a say in getting hired. Shows what you really do for a living .

They obviously don't because I, for one, don't have GoJets on my resume and yet airlines aren't exactly fighting over me.

They would not turn someone away if they did have GoJet on their resume. Simply a fact.
