New Delta Stats...

[Kristie]

Recall Statistics:
Delta furloughed 1,310 pilots during FM-I (post 9/11) and FM-II (Iraq Invasion).

Of those 1,310, all but 204 (16%) accepted recall…but not all of the 1106 who accepted recall, returned to active status. Some took MLOA and some took the fixed term 3 and 5 year PLOAs.

The final stats were as follows:

852(65%) accepted recall and returned to active status
32 (2%) are on 3 or 5 year PLOAs and the first group should be returning to active status at the end of this year
188 (14%) accepted recall an took MLOA
204 (16%) bypassed recall and have not returned yet
3 pilots passed away
31 (2%)pilots have resigned or retired since the first furlough in November 2000

Present:
Delta now has 6,950 pilots on its seniority list. All but 56 are active members and all of the 163 “New Hires” have applied for and been approved for “Apprentice” membership.

Delta has hired 163 pilots since February

New Hire Stats (as of July 16): 163 total
40 were prior military - 28 still actively drilling in guard or reserves
5 came from Airtran
6 came from American Eagle
51 came from ASA
7 came from Chautauqua
7 came from Comair
8 came from Express Jet
6 came from Jet Blue
10 came from Skywest
10 came directly from the Navy
15 came directly from the Air Force
4 came directly from the Marines
the others came from various carriers

New hires have been assigned MD-88, 737-800 and 767 F/O positions in ATL and NYC.
Seniority number issues:
Delta had mistakenly assigned seniority numbers in reverse order, but is correcting this mistake and we’ll make sure that all new hires are in the proper equipment and base without penalty to those who had already completed training on aircraft they might not have been able to hold had the mistake not happened.

Future:

Delta is expected to have at least two “New Hire” classes per month for the rest of the year. Each class is projected to have at least 20 pilots if not more in it. Therefore, the total number of “New Hires” is expected to exceed 350 this year. Rumors are that class sizes could grow to 30 or 45 every two weeks.

and Delta's latest bid award information (yes, they're looking for *this* many new pilots!)...also meaning new hires will be able to bid ER flying which is, i think, pretty unusual for Delta.

K- thanks for posting that! Looking good for our ASA guys huh? I cant beleive the majority of their new hires were from ASA... thats pretty nice!

We just had one of our guys here from the company I work for go to Delta... he was pretty thrilled. My boyfriend would love to go to Delta but he doesn't have the stupid 4-year-degree.

[Kristie]

ahh yea.. that 4 yr degree is important!

I can believe the ASA statistics.. they helped the delta guys when they needed it.. it's payback time!
