What happened to DAL?
Recent new hire here....
During our interview we were told 3-4 months from hire date to get DAL as a base. We were also told the same thing numerous times during training.
Now it's like 7-8 months to get DAL from what I'm seeing.
Why the slowdown all the sudden in DAL? I mean I understand things change but literally a month ago I had a DAL CP say 3-4 months from hire date to my face.

They’re very optimistic in the training department. Rumors never seem to materialize. I was told we would have 12,500 pilots and be flying to S America in 5 years, plus upgrade would be down to 5 years max. 5 years later I’m +/-2000 from upgrade and we still can’t figure out Canada.

There’s a lot of hiring going on. DAL is pretty much tapped out for growth so any spots in there are for attrition. May bid closes tomorrow and there’s over 250 new hires being added over the June and July bid. I’d say you should get it sooner than 7-8 but that depends on how many ahead of you want it.

Thanks Smooth. Yeah I realize I'm lucky as hell compared to others that waited years to get DAL back in the day.
