I just got Jan 11, and know of a few in Jan 4. Background took 4 weeks from CJO.

It was put out at a training meeting that they want 16,000 pilots on the seniority list for Summer 2023.

Summer 2022 is just the tip of the money-making iceberg. The company anticipates blowing 2019 out of the water in 2023. They see smaller dips in bookings with every new variant and they realize that 90% of people are over the ‘Rona by now. Soon it will be 99.9% of people won’t forgo travel for it. Really once governments stop overreacting/overreaching and people can plan intl travel, then they will en mass.

Come 2023, COVID will be a late-night punchline.

A few questions…..

1. Do you start getting paid today on Day 1 of Indoc? If so, what is the training pay?

2. If you have to wait for training to start (the 3-6 weeks mentioned here), I assume you continue to get paid during that wait?

3. Finally, is Delta flexible if training start conflicts with the birth of a new child?

Thanks.

1. Yes, $5,091.20/month
2. Yes, training pay goes until off of IOE
3. Not sure. They ask if your start date on your app is still accurate during the interview. In the class date email, you get a questionnaire that asks if you forsee any conflicts for 90 days from your training start, like marriage or birth of a child, before accepting the class date. So they ask but not sure of the outcome if you give an answer other than no conflicts.

Great thanks.

Also, how long is Indoc and what do you actually do there? Isn’t there also a ceremony in which family is invited?

.
this seems crazy. Our December seniority list had 12,819 pilots, with over 600 retirements between now and June of 2023. That’s almost 4,000 pilots in 19 months if that is serious. I’m honestly not sure if ~200 a month is sustainable for almost 2 years, I guess we will see if they can pull it off. I can only imagine the havoc this will wreck on our RJ feed, which will only exacerbate their problem.

bet they are wishing they had not played stupid UNA games after the VEOP.

Yes, but you are only allowed one guest. Generally people bring a spouse or significant other, but sometimes people bring a parent or even an older child.

Ok thanks. I imagine you can bring your child? Also, is the ceremony on the last day of Indoc and does Delta fly the guest to ATL?
