Second, that is a deceitful way to word it, especially since that wording was below those supporting statistics.....if that was in fact the intent. It is like a literal interpretation my children sometimes do when it works to their advantage.
I don't care if they hire or not. Just don't like being tricked.

I heard yesterday from a friend of mine. He was told by a LCA that the 717's were only on a 5 yr lease. Any truth to that? I try to keep up with this thread but do miss a bit. I don't remember reading anything about this on here.
Thanks

When you said winter 2013 I thought you meant the end of the year (Dec. 2013), but you must have been referring to the beginning of the year (Jan. 2013).
Just curious, Sail, but what do you personally see as the short term/long term pilot staffing levels as?
My opinion is that management would rather be slightly understaffed with enough contractual flexibility to maintain the integrity of the schedule.
If I had to put a number on it, I would say around 10,000 pilots lets not forgot the possibilities of an another acquisition or merger in which case they would not want to be heavy on pilots in that scenario.

P.S. You probably miss a lot less than you think.

This is a example of how wrong the forum gets things. The bid that just closed in nov replaced those ER pilots in fact it replaced almost every single one. Around 94 awards were made. Add in the additional awards now and we may have added seats. The award is still available on delta net. The aug bid replaced many of the 747 captains who retired. The 330 was not back filled because of the lie flat mods.
If you look just at 7ER/767 Captains over the same two reports you're -135. And CVG was already closed then.
I'm not feeling as optimistic because that Aug11 22D3 report had us at 10,724 pilots and the new one is 10,491 pilots. Seems like they're wanting to or going the wrong way...

First, go look at the charts and statistics from TG 12-06 then tell me there isn't an actual implied hiring.
Second, that is a deceitful way to word it, especially since that wording was below those supporting statistics.....if that was in fact the intent. It is like a literal interpretation my children sometimes do when it works to their advantage.
I don't care if they hire or not. Just don't like being tricked.

- Steal wine off airplane - fired
- Steal from lost & found - fired
- Post a silly memo mocking Flight Ops - demoted & put on leave
- Lie about almost anything - fired
- Have a family member trade on inside info - more or less, fired
Mislead employees into voting for a contract which allows a big RJ order that is desired - pass without mention
Enough of us are country boys to know what this is; and we know not to follow too close, or inhale:
The best are equipped so you know what's being spread:
I never believed Steve Dickson (et.al.) statements when he made them, so it can not be said I relied on them to my detriment. Knowing this, I was still on the fence about C2012. There was a lot in there for the reserves, some marginal scope improvements and money sooner IS A LOT better than money later. I thought the hiring allusions were more than a little over the top then.
In the end, I voted NO.
