NWA Pool

You are correct about that. It has nothing to do with the quality of applicants. It has to with the legal liability of hiring persons that failed a psyche eval. It is easily fixed for the poolies. Just have em do it over.
It will be an all or nothing type of deal. I am sure that when NWA starts to do their own hiring, or DAL hires and sends pilots to MSP after indoc, we will know what the decision is.

Dude will you please change your screen name. You keep confusing me with General Lee.

Hockey44,

That is true. Do you mean "hired" or in the pool?

When it gets this quiet, something's happening. Enjoy the calm, get the popcorn and the coffee ready.

I mean hired as in working for the companies now.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Yes, and DAL cannot legally do anything about that. Never have, never will. It is all about the pilot candidates.

Well it will be done either at the end of this month or next. If hiring is going to happen, look for the announcement after that imho.

I was told this directly by a friend who is a DAL FO. He had a conversation with a Asst CP at DAL regarding NWA poolies. Take it for what it's worth...

Now that the merger is complete the pool is null and void and DAL controls all future hiring. In this CP's opinion there will probably be some sort of preferential interview worked out. He said that it wouldn't matter even if the hiring was for the NWA side to fly current NWA aircraft that poolies would have to reinterview because NWA technically doesn't exist anymore.

Don't shoot the messenger here guys, who knows if it's even true.

....well that definately was not the news i was looking for. but maybe i'll get an interview at least. thanks for the info!

That is just hear say don't worry. Poolies are interviewed and ready to go if NWA needs them. We are still a separate entity.

Yeah, I was hoping for better news as well but it's better than getting flushed! Time will tell if it is valid info.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

It is looking like that is the way that the hiring will go.
No Official word yet, just very well placed conversations.
Of course nothing is official until we announce hiring.

I sure hope you are right.
