New Hire Class Drops
#2911
Can confirm. I have a 7 week break between indoc and sims (73N) and I asked the CPO if I could do some contracting on the side for my previous employer charter company. Was told it is in competition with Delta’s Wheels Up subsidiary and thus was not allowed.
Other types of “moonlighting” may be allowed if they’re not in competition with DL. The CPO can provide a form you can fill out to request authorization.

Just heard from a friend, 4 phone calls with scheduling and CP before they admitted he was correct on a scheduling issue. Anyone not willing to stand their ground 4 times would have been given an illegal assignment. the claim was a computer error and then an ARCOS error. He's convinced there was no error and they just did what they "needed" to do to cover a trip. The excuses were different depending on the source. He said it was interesting how the "reasons" for the error evolved, almost like nobody wanted to accept blame or take responsibility. I wonder why? The PWA doesn't mean **** culture is being bread into the new schedulers!

I've got a class date early next year, but the FOMO is hitting really hard. With EB announcing hiring to slow at the "town hall" in MSP, I fear that I won't see a WB B let alone a WB A position for +15 years. I'm finding it hard to stay when UAL has unfilled CA positions, and I could be in a WB A position within a year. Is there any hope for WB flying at Delta?

2. I’ve stated before that the large number of seat locks probably has something to do with it, but we have had NYC and DTW WB positions go to new hires.
3. Recently announced that they were looking at 350 “variants” so probably an order for more coming.
4. You will be WB at United sooner, that is true. They go junior because their reserve rules are way worse than ours, and they have more WB planes.
5. If you live in a base, go there. That’s a no brainer.

1. Hiring isn’t slowing, it’s returning to normal. Last stated number was 100-125 a month.

To add, the planned hiring chart shown at the standards meeting was full bore hiring except dips leading summer and holiday peak periods to allow instructors’ fly months to be put to most efficient use. Nowhere on the chart was a sustained 100-125 a month number.
