I'm not sure I would trust that. Several pilots on leave until August and the remainder are on reduced schedules until then. I can't believe they would run any class while asking a portion of their pilot group to take unpaid leave at the same time. Hopefully this all clears up sooner rather than later.

June seems a little optimistic to me as well. That said, how long is the training footprint from day of hire to signed off on the line? I would think a mid June start would line up well if they really are planning to be back at full capacity in August. New hires would hit the line right about the time (or slightly after) the established crews are back to the normal schedule.

9 in the air right now as of 12.30pm West coast. A trickle compared to this time a month ago but still revenue nonetheless. I flew out to the East coast on a A321 last tour. Myself and 5 others in 1st class with a grand total of around 20 in the back. The ticket was $200. They must he hemorrhaging money at that rate. I read Delta is burning through $100 million day.

Which hiring pool? I am in the DPJ pool and don't get a weekly call. Was told June or July is the new target time frame. Granted, I fully understand it is totally unknown until demand necessitates. I will be pleasantly surprised if I am in a class by end of July, or at all.
