Sorry, my wording was a bit imprecise. 110 Compass flowups implies at least 360 total DELTA newhires. My reasoning is that Compass can only flow 20 per month, so 110 equals six months of hiring, and Delta hired a total of 60 per month the last two times around (two classes of 30). 6*60=360. More are possible because, as I mentioned, 110 is the maximum number that can flow from Compass in any 12-month period. On the other hand, it's always possible that they're *only* planning on taking Compass (and Mesaba) flowups. I think that's unlikely, though.

Jungle,
My intentions aren't to discredit your good news, as I hope the hiring starts and doesn't end for a long, long time.
Just curious as to whether it was formal communication from your leadership? (i.e. letter, email, crew information file?) Or if the Chief Pilot told someone who told you?
Thanks,
GJ

"Thirdly, counter-intuitively, the trans-Atlantic produced Delta's highest unit revenue in the first quarter, despite Europe's weakening economies." Hauenstein said. Trans-Atlantic PRASM grew 22% following a 9% capacity cut.
"Business travel in the aggregate is increasing despite the fact that Europe's in a recession," Hauenstein said. "That's contrary to what we expect. The U.S. is seeing opportunities in Europe to work (so) business traffic goes up.

I hope the counter-intuitiveness continues because europe is sliding down the muck.
Now how many European destinations have been removed from the NYC ER bid package?
