The first class after a lull in hiring is tyically smaller than other classes. I would expect the size to increase significantly as they get things going.

Many NYC 320Bs left on the last bid. Few, if any backfilled.

Just checked. There were 15 320B positions offered (only in ATL) 17 were filled. Some were likely backfills but I'm to bogged down with training to look that closely.
However, there were only 9 ATL M88B's filled and 2 NYC M88B's filled.

In conclusion there were 31 unfilled ATLM88B's and 18 NYC ATLM88B's unfilled.

That appears to be the current offering for new hires.

I keep hearing DTW, but I haven't seen a single vacancy. It's going to be NY or ATL right now on the Maddog

That said I bet a few classes into it and for a long time most new hire classes will have at least 3 aircraft and 5 or 6 AC/base combos at least.

I didn't look at any backfills, only the originally posted AE #'s so I was basing that on the fact that only ATL320B's were posted and filled. I'm sure there is some back wash...err fill in there if you want to work up a nice chart for us. I need some color and lines to follow!

Two contract questions...

Can any of the SSP folks chime in on whether their contractual agreement will result in them receiving a class date prior to their fellow interviewees?

Additionally, could any Compass folks provide insight on whether their contract requires Delta to not fill their empty seats with street hires?
