Ya know background checks are sometimes not completed until after you start. Lie on an app or purposely omit something and they have been known to pull ppl. (Arrests, attendance, education level etc are biggies)

Also, many of these pilots may be getting pulled off their training because of an award on this last AE. Go see if they show up on the AE with an award to another jet. This might be much of it.

forgot to bid

So I guess its possible some new hires were offered the opportunity to resign rather than be fired for background checks, right?

I can tell you, those background checks can go awry very quickly. I had a good friend I worked with at a previous company who got caught up in a mess because of how a former contractor - not employer - contractor answered some questions posed to them. The contractor was dead wrong and accused this pilot of lying which created some big not so fun meetings to point out the contractor was clueless as seen here and here and here and here and here and so on. I'm sure he could've sued said contractor if DAL had let him go.

It took some big not so fun meetings during sim training to get that straightened out and it was straightened out I think because this pilot a) was a model employee in indoc, b) smoked the interview and c) smoked training. So, on behalf of who not surprisingly turned out to be a damn near perfect pilot for Delta, I bash that contractor elsewhere in the great beyond of this website.

As it turns out, it was recalls and not new hires.

Did they resign, or just go back on military leave??

I called and asked today if guys were leaving. As far as this person knew and he felt he would know the number of people who have chosen to leave on their own is zero. There have been a couple of background investigation issues who may have been asked to leave. Some pilots have come back and gone on mil leave.

U.S.-based AerSale on Thursday announced the purchase of a fleet of 19 Boeing 747-400s from Japan Air Lines. The fleet of passenger planes is powered by CF6-80C2B1F engines.

JAL had previously announced plans to eliminate all 28 Boeing 747-400 aircraft from its fleet by 2011 as part of a restructuring plan.

“With this single transaction we have made a substantial financial commitment to AerSale’s growth plan, enabling us to provide quality aircraft that have been impeccably maintained by a top-tier international airline,” said Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer.

AerSale said that this was the second of several large scale multi-fleet acquisitions that are part of the company’s 2010 business plan. The company said that in the near future another announcement will be made soon.

“We believe most of these aircraft will continue to fly, whether as passenger aircraft or as freighters,” added Robert Nichols, AerSale’s Chief Operating Officer. “This said, we are proceeding to disassemble a few of the aircraft and a good many of the engines installed on wing so as to position AerSale to become the leading provider of aftermarket CF6-80C2 engines and material.”

AerSale is a global provider of aftermarket aircraft engines, and their component parts to airlines, leasing companies, and OEM/MRO service providers. Its parent company is AerSale Holdings Inc.

The DL 744's have pratt 4060 engines...same as a portion of the 767 fleet. The GE engines are the same that is on the other portion of the 767 fleet.

Well there ya go. Probably went back out on Mil leave. Really nothing to see there. Some did it to make sure they got back in.

Carl Spackler

The 744's have Pratt 4056's. Other than that, you're correct.
