I passed through MCO a couple weeks ago- Why isn't that a 767 base?? The amount of airplanes we have passing through there would easily cross that "credit threshold" that planning figured.
Plus goodness knows how senior that would go...

I'd hoped for it too, even my last regional airline payed for single occupancy hotel rooms for us throughout the whole training process. I had figured Delta would do the same. I think it's just one of those issues that has never been addressed and a lot of the people I fly with don't even know about it.
Also I'm throwing some money on a MCO base for the 717. How senior will it go?

My first DAL paycheck was about $600. I remember commenting that it wasn't enough for a fun weekend, forget living on it.
It would be nice if DAL helped the newhires out with living expenses, even if it was just to help find and fund a clean crashpad. IMO, abysmally low 1st year pay was DALs way of having newhires pay for their training. I think it is higher now than it was then. That is something.
717 bases will be ATL and NYC, nothing else.

I remember being a new hire. As a former mil guy, everything was different. I didn't know crashpads existed, Takeoff data calculations are done backwards from the AF, V1 cuts and the memorized litany was foreign, etc.

We should help out the newhires and here's to hoping there will be some soon. I guess the first hint should come with the August AE. If there are significantly more openings than displacements, we'll see hiring. Otherwise same ol same ol.
BTW I'm also hoping for a DFW 717 (or MD90) base.

Next AE in AUG. No B717 category on the next AE. They'll wait for the following AE to get the 365 day bid to close the DC9 bases while opening the B717.

Bill excited about his left seat prospects. He should be. I'm really happy for him.
Most of the time I just think he's bating people and looking to get their goat if you will.
