I don't remember seeing any United, CAL, or DAL folks young or old being hired here at UPS in the last seven months. If there were, it's been less than you can count on one hand. Mostly Air Force guys are getting hired at UPS that I've seen.

Plus, we don't need to be seen on the "majors" boards with our brown avatars, someone might notice!

You say tons of guys, out the 1500 guys they have hired in the past 2.5 yrs 20-30 have left. I don't call that tons.

Wish you the best.

After flying one of those big C182's sans cowl flaps with a PT6 in the nose, I can not imagine jumping into the MD88. She's (he, anyone) with just Caravan time is going to have to be God's gift to aviation to make that transition. Could it be that this person also was a 737 scholarship winner? If so, that would be a big help and probably put her on equal footing with anyone else coming in the door.

Delta seems to be pretty objective.

Just trying to talk Delta on a Delta thread.

Thoughts/opinions?

I am as shocked as the rest of you when Jim quit. However, I am hearing from more people that it is not a bad thing. My last Capt was talking to an ALPA dude who thought Jim was not the right dude for the CEO job because he was always in the dark about the PWA. They had to correct him on some big attempted contract violations. When Jim spoke to my new hire class he stated he was at his dream job. Well, I guess not. So if he wants to throw his sucker in the dirt, then fine. Get someone in there that wants to be a Delta. My 2 cents

Wait let me get out of the way........

Okay, fire away!

Heard something today from my CC (DAL Capt)...He read a financial speculation that DAL hired Anderson (former NWA CEO) to grease the skids for a "possible" NWA-DAL merger, with DAL being the absolvent one of the partnership...

I'm just wondering out loud...anyone else hear something similar?
