Was that due to the controller strike in 1981? I had what you described happen to a friend of mine as well during '81.

No, it was in the 2000's. I'll have to talk with him to find out the exact Month and Year. I'll also try to post more details.

Probably a post-9/11 class cancellation. There were lots of those industry-wide. Almost all were placed in pools (SWA, etc). But if he wasn't, then you're right, sounds like DAL is not too eager to follow thru on their commitments regarding job offers when things get shaken up a bit. Definite pattern there, decades long.

Otherwise a great place to be, except for the Ron Allen years. That guy did a lot of damage to a great corporate-family culture, but I digress.

Thanks for all the responses guys... as one post said, we won't really know until hiring starts, whenever that is. Cheers!

I recently flew with a line check guy and he said we wanted to hire this spring but the training dept has their hands full with all the movement from the last bid. Look for us to hire next spring/summer. Unless things change of course.....

When is the most Junior F/O on the current list forecasted to upgrade? That is if say they take first available upgrade slot. ( Ball park figure) In addition what is the hire date of the most Junior F/O on property now.

Curios for a company with such a huge seniority list, what the dynamics of the system are.
Thanks

Most of our initial Captain positions at Delta were negotiated away with our current PWA and given to non-seniority list pilots at Compass, Mesaba, Shuttle America, ASA and Skywest.

Ball park? My guess is eight to ten years, at a minimum, for the most junior FO at Delta to upgrade to the most junior Captain position.
