I can't believe they'd cut it on, and then cut it off like that. Very un-Delta like. Normally, they're way out in front of the curve and don't crank it up unless they're committed for awhile. Of course, who knows, but I can't imagine DAL kick starting the hiring for a month and then closing it down. Doesn't sound like us at all.
Buzz,
You are too kind.
Hiring wave until 1991 - DAL hires right up until furloughs.
Hiring wave until 2001 - DAL hires right up until furloughs.
Hiring wave until 2008 - DAL hires and does not furlough......yet.
I would say our record is "mixed" at best in this regard.

I've worked every reserve day so far, & I think I'll work every single reserve day this month. I may break 70, but most likely I'll get right to 69 hours just as the month ends.

Just finished a three day with mostly north-side fa's...they are working hard at spreading the "Dougie is coming back" rumor. Personally, I don't buy it.

I don't think anything sinister is going on here. They said they would hire 305 including furlough bypasses, flows and off the street. They stated at every roadshow that hiring would stop at that point and resume next Aug. The furlough bypasses have contractual language on when they have to notify the company. The original estimates were based on a non binding letter asking who was coming back. Now that the contractual timeline is coming up it appears more are coming back then said they would.
