There were four expressjet, one superpilot, two skywest, one mesaba, one comair, one sunair, one air whisky, one military retiree, on nwa ati a couple of charter airline guys, and a bunch of Delta guys who just couldn't hack the double breasted suit anymore. This is the first class with a mesaba flow through. There were three on the list but I guess two are being held back. That is great news that the flow is starting to come through for those guys.

Hey Super duper I'm glad you are in class, open your VOl 1 and read it and stop looking on FI so much. Lets us know what your NW indoc guy says about the merger on your side of the street, I'm sure you will though. Congrats and I hope we keep our jobs, I think we will, but I'm a positive guy.

Hey, when did NWA start hiring again and how many guys have they hired since they began? I guess since it looks like were going to hook up, I should be looking at that as well as the Delta numbers.

NWA started hiring i believe the first class was in Oct but we were told our class was around the first 130 hired so far. 350 newhires planned for 2008 might go up depending on how the age 65 shakes down. what are the DAL numbers? This merger stuff is going to be interesting thats for sure. Its in all of our best interest to stay civil about it though. Not much we have control over other than ourselves and how we deal with this. Good luck guys :beer:

Yeah... no.. You should more or less be enjoying your time at the Outback bar. Indoc is 8 hours of material crammed into 2 weeks with one day sliding down the slides and swimming in the pool. Enjoy it during indoc, because once you hit DC-9 systems you won't hardly have time to eat, much less enjoy a beer!!

In all seriousness, welcome aboard.

Where are they putting up the new hires? Does NWA provide hotel and per diem to new hires? What if you live locally in MSP?

 

[Buzo]

They provide hotel and per-diem if you live outside of 2 hours of MSP.

DAL started in Feb 07 and hired 388 for 07. So far for 08 they have hired 93 as of the 4 Feb class. The next class starts on the 18th and I think it will be around 30-ish. Two classes per month and in March they are going to 50 each. Between NWA and DAL, there should be lots of guys/gals added to the list in the next six months.
