Dude, you're a clown. DAL in a league of their own? Not even close. You want to talk about newhires leaving DAL for FDX, UPS, etc? CAL's been hiring the last couple of years...DAL opened their window the last few months (I believe Jan or Feb). Don't worry - as more guys (especially mil flyers since that's been a pretty big contingent of newhires at DAL) start getting picked up by FDX and UPS, they'll start trundling out the door from DAL just as quickly as a few folks have done at CAL. Gaurantee'd. Mark my words...it's just to early in the window so far for any major trends yet at good old DAL. And I know personally a few "old hires" that have recently left both DAL and UAL for FDX and UPS because they got absolutely raped on their retirements.

This is not a pride thing. CAL was the first to call me...I had app's into multiple other places as well (at that point DAL was still in bankruptcy and not hiring a soul). However, I think CAL is a good company and their customer service is top notch. DAL has some good points as well...but in a league of their own...absolutely, positively NOT.

Thanks Scrapdog you beat me to it.

Dude, I'm no clown. You keep skipping over all the points that I make. (PAY, NO HEALTH) There are tons of guys that get there type at CAL for free and go to SW. There are tons of guys that could have gone staright from Express to CAL b/c of the old flow through. Most of them did not. I still think CAL is a good job, there are just better options.

Sez it all

I just don't buy your logic. I think DAL and CAL both have their positive points, depending on your perspective. They are both currently profitable and hiring companies, but one size does not fit all.

Express pilot, you're right, you should probably look somewhere besides CAL, it doesn't sound like you would be happy there, and it sure doesn't look like they would be either, but your milage may vary.

I think it is kind of sad. He thought he was going to take over and then WHAM-O! That new CEO announcement happened the morning of my interview, I am glad I read the paper.

Just curious......I am an FO at ASA with 2300TT (and no hairgel, just a few greys), 1000 hrs SIC Jet. NO PIC JET TIME. Any chance of Delta hiring me?

I'm worried about my future at ASA.

Are you a woman? They just hired a woman with nothing more than Caravan time.. so it's possible if you're the "right" candidate.

Wish you the best.

No...just a white male. I guess I will apply and see what happens. I've got an insider who I can use as a reference (B767 FO).

Thanks!
