It appears 68 of the 717s cannot be manned with current staffing and will require 952 additional pilots by the end of 15. Expect 500 pilots to leave through attrition of all types by Dec 15. This results in 1452 newbies required. DAL is currently "overstaffed" by about 150. Expect 50 furloughs to return. That leaves a need for 1252 new hires by Dec 15.

Where do I send my buy-in money??


I Hope you are spot on!

Never mind, survey fail.

The problem is ftb doesn't drink, that's why he doesn't know who Jeremiah weed is.

That's a good decision, when it comes to Weed anyway.

Okay, if I was anti merger before, this just pushed me deep over the edge.

We merge with jb and divest JFK, and LGB and obviously BOS... and E190s... Oh and the 320s too since we have new 737s and upgraded MD88/90s.... Oh and after the SLI we'll furlough the Delta side as we liquidate the JB side...

Don't laugh. That's exactly what we did when we bought Pan Am.
We bought all their pile of junk 727's and A-310s and acquired 600 of their pilots and then promptly parked all of their airplanes and furloughed 600 Delta pilots.

I could see that. Good on them too. Its nuts to be all paper (no matter how "divirsified" that paper may be) with all that's going on and on the horizon.

And from Free Mason:

I know the Church of the LDS has been buying gold from South America for a long time.

Looks like Germany may be joining the party by bringing some of their's home.
