"New" Delta DC-9-50 in MSP

[DYLIN]

Pretty sure many Compass pilots wouldn't have the "numbers" needed to be flying for DAL. (i.e. F/O's flight time, etc).

All FOs at Compass have ATP.

Many have 5000-10000 hours total time with very few having less than 2000TT.

I know of one who got hired with 25,000 TT which included 15,000 PIC.

I am curious, what were the Delta mins when they were hiring?

At least 7 do not have an ATP. I read the side letter signed to let them keep their jobs. They were hired with less than the required 1500 hours. One had as little as 700 hours when she was hired.

well that's your fault, not theirs.
plus- don't tell me you didn't hire some fighter pilots w/ <2000TT. Those competitve minimums would have been much different for everyone if outsourcing had been kept in house. It benefits you to get those guys on one list. Don't hurt yourself b/c a few low time guys will benefit. >50 seats should be mainline. Period. Even >50 seat turboprops.

Well, that's true.

7 of 340 do not have the ATP.

They will on the next recurrent.

So -- for all practical purposes -- everyone has it or will have it soon.

Always an exception and I'm glad you brought up the 2% of the list that doesn't fit the description that I wrote.

I thought the lowest was 992TT though. Not 700.

Nice paint, let's get 717's from Boeing (ex Midway), get all DC-9's from the desert, get 50 -90's from China and park 80% RJ's.
