Some line pilots, but the bulk (from what I've seen - 90% or so) are retired DL pilots working for DGS. Never seen a guy hired off the street.

I cant seem to get the exact figures but Gol pilots do not make a lot of money and they work a whole lot more than their US counterparts.

We have some "ground" instructors that were hired off the street about five years ago. They are DGS, and can teach the 100's and 200's.

They asked me about the type with no time. I was a straight shooter. Told them I interviewed with SWA in early '05 when Delta had tons of pilots on the street. Got turned down. Hence... 737 type with no time. Ended up being a waste of money.

I would think Delta would lease these "birds" back to GOL. Then GOL will use their lower paid employees/pilots to fly some joint routes.

1- DCI RJ from anywhere to ATL
2- GOL 767 from ATL to Sao Paulo
3- GOL 737 to anywhere
I'm just asking...Delta pax with 3 legs and zero on a Delta airplane? If this is contractually possible, I wouldn't be surprised to see a big GOL widebody order sometime in the future. And then ALPA will tell us that Anywhere, US to Anywhere, SA was an unprofitable market for us...we needed all that feed.

On the command time, maybe. In a two man op, the Capt always signs for the jet and that is what many of these Asian carriers see as PIC time. For a three man op, you probably could get away with it for the two hrs that the Capt is no rest, but not when he is occupying his seat. Of course SIC all of the time 
Sorry ACL,
If you are typed in the aircraft and sole manipulator of the controls, you are legal to log in command time. You are not the "captain of record."

What you are pushing is typically frowned upon in an interview setting. When Delta (and every other big time gig that I know of) interviews you, they only want "commander of record" time to be counted toward your PIC time. A quick way to not get hired is to log sole manipulator time.
