So much for the guys that have been saying SB is going to leave...

Posted on Epic:

The consolidated organization will be led by SB, who will assume the role of director of Training and report to Allen Messick, vice president of Maintenance, effective November 1.

That's great news, we should start hiring off the street very soon

Combine all the mechanics, dispatchers, inflight, and pilots into one training system, then put a pilot (SB) in charge of the whole thing, and a mechanic (AM) in charge of him, and a pilot (RG) in charge of him, and a mechanic (ng4) in charge of him... so simple, yet so genius!

We'll save $$ BILLIONS $$!!!!

For the record - mechs report to mech (AM), and dispatchers, inflight, and pilots report to pilot (RG).

Mechs, dispatchers, inflight, and pilot training will be run by a pilot (SB) who will report to a mech (AM) who reports to a mech (ng4).

SB does not report to RG anymore.

Don't see saving more than millions at the most.

I am an economist and a potential investor in Delta stock. As an investor, I'd think that Delta would be self interested in hiring OH pilots to fill future vacancies at the mainline in order to lower labour costs at OH as they layoff OH's most junior and least paid pilots and flight attendants. I'd like to see DL hire the best 10 or so of the most mainline compatible pilots from OH each month.

Airlines don't work that way. That would make financial sense...

So, if you're an economist, why would you be looking to invest in airline stocks? With your grasp of the economy, I'd think you'd be better served investing in sectors with better margins...like weight-loss companies or the porn industry.

But be careful, if you can find your way to losing $billions in the airline industry, you might find yourself a career in airline management...or government!

Just a thought...

Perhaps he or she is researching for the purpose of selling Delta stock short? "Investing in" doesn't necessarily have to mean "owning".

In any event, I commend the level of due dilligence he or she is making.

As a Delta pilot, and someone who would be working with these individuals, I'd rather the company hire the most competent pilots available nationwide.
