I must admit, I looked up to him. Cadet wing commander, F-15 superstar, law school, etc. He talked the talk about "integrity." I expected a little more from him.
He prostituted his integrity...and why? For his ego? To make a few extra bucks? He's let himself go physically, and he looks like a wreck. And now his integrity is gone, too.
It's now apparent the company had zero intention of hiring in 2012. Sure, the lawyers among us will say he left plenty of wiggle room in his statement about hiring in 2012. But the fact is, he intended to deceive us into voting for the TA. Deep down, he knows it. He has to. And so do we.
I hope it was worth it, SD.

Saying that Delta will hire 8000 pilots, in ten years, does not make sense. Please tell me someone asked him how that would be accomplished. Hire and train 800 pilots a year when they say there not going to hire this year. That means they have to hire and train 888 pilots a year starting in 2014. With this quick math, I am sure that someone asked if we are able to do train that many new hires.

In 10 years Delta will only retire 4800 pilots due to age 65. That is 480 pilots to be hired and trained every year for 10 years. As far as I know that puts the training department at max production for 10 years. So, if we are to have 8000 pilots hired in the next ten years how are we going to train an extra 3200 pilots. It is clear, to me, that they are going to buy a pilot group to get the new pilots. To say we are going to hire 8000 pilots is just not feasible in our training department.

When I worked at COEX nonrevs got left ALL the time in the CAL system. CAL had laser like focus on D-0 and now we are walking down the same path. Efficiency is great but....

And yet little to no hiring for at least another year, maybe more. That really amps up the hiring when it does start...or makes that 8000/10 figure look that much less likely.
Yeah I know its possible, but if they were really planning on that many, the gates would be opening up soon. We'll see I guess.
