DAL New Hire Demographic

Btw, Delta takes apps now but has officially stopped hiring (interviewing)? When is it slated to start again? Any official numbers of newhires desired for 2011 at Delta?

I have heard 600-800, but a lot of the rumors I have heard also talked about not knowing how many senior guys will retire. The VP of flight ops said we have 1700 guys in the age 60-65 range right now, and that will rise to 2200 by this Summer. The new rest/fatigue rules may also necessitate more newhires. The VP also stated that the next hiring wave, when it does start, will continue for years.

Thanks General. Confirm, though, no hiring as of right now?

Nothing now. It'll start up again later in the year.

Correct, but we have been told there will be hiring this year. We just don't know how many yet. Rumors abound. A lot determines on how many leave, and what the new rest/fatigue rules are.
