How is it that we can only train 600 pilots a year? When I was hired in 2000 we were hiring 60 a month and now we've got NWA's training center also.

Only reporting what we were told. Remember, after the -9's are gone,there will only be 320, 757 and wide body sims in MSP.

I also wonder this... DL used to routinely train 100 pilots a month.

Combined that should equal a capacity for 160 noobs a month on top of normal movements and recurrents.

My old man was a north instructor. It was one month on the line and one month teaching. Instructors were also LCAs. Sometimes they would buy him off 2 months in a row.

Makes sense to me....

They are managing expectations for a merger. We had better get along on SLI because Delta can't staff without it and the airline will die, dogs and cats, San Francisco quake and nuclear Armageddon.
