Delta updates 2020 hiring plan with expectations of record-setting year Delta said it expects to hire more than 8,000 pilots over the next decade to staff the thousands of daily flights it operates around the world as other aviators approach mandatory retirement age. Delta says it's set for a record-breaking hiring spree. Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) on Wednesday said it plans to hire and train more than 1,300 pilots in the next year as part of its largest single-year hiring event in more than two decades. Delta also bumped its initial hiring plan for flight attendants in 2020, from roughly 1,000 flight attendant job openings to at least 2,500 - the largest for a single year in the airline's 95-year history. The Atlanta-based carrier said the increases come as it expects to fly a record number of customers on more flights than ever. The plan is part of a broader effort to onboard more than 8,000 pilots in the next decade to backfill current pilots who are reaching the mandatory retirement age, 65. The airline said pilots hired in the next year will fill positions across a broad range of mainline fleet types at Delta crew bases that include Atlanta, New York, Minneapolis, Detroit and Seattle. Over the past few years, the Delta's pilots union has argued the airline should significantly improve pilot compensation and work rules that were slashed during bankruptcy. Negotiations for a new contract between the airline and its pilots kicked off earlier this year. Wednesday's announcements follow CEO Ed Bastian's comments in October that the company is expanding its workforce this year and next by at least 12,000 people in "all categories." Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in July on how Delta is putting a larger emphasis on diversity and inclusion its workplace and recruiting efforts. That includes its annual "Dream Flight" and Propel, the airline's new career path program that aims to develop the next generation of pilots. Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) in August unveiled its own new program, Destination 225°, that provides several pathways for people to ultimately become first officers for the Dallas-based airline. https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2019/12/11/delta-updates-2020-hiring-plan-with-expectations.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo Back to Top
