In Addition To Previous Call-Backs of Pilots and FAs
Delta Air Lines has
announced plans to recall approximately 700 additional maintenance
employees beginning in mid-December. This latest recall expands on
the approximately 200 previously furloughed maintenance employees
that have been recalled during the last few months.
"Our plan is working. Our goals continue to be profitable growth
and expansion as we work towards becoming a world-class maintenance
service provider," said Tony Charaf, senior vice president of
Technical Operations.
"TechOps is in a position to achieve profitable growth and is
already exceeding insourcing expectations for next year."
"The Technical
Operations division has worked very hard to become competitive in
the core aspects of the maintenance service business, and the
recall of 700 maintenance professionals shows the significant
progress they have made," said Jim Whitehurst, Delta's chief
operating officer.
Earlier this month, Delta announced a recall of 1,000 flight
attendants, in addition to the more than 200 who were recalled in
September. Also in September, Delta announced its second pilot
recall of 2006, with a total of approximately 130 pilots recalled
this year. The company expects an additional pilot recall this year
and is hiring in its Airport Customer Service and Reservations
divisions.
Delta notes that it, "continues to make significant progress in
all areas of its restructuring and remains on track to emerge from
Chapter 11 during the first half of 2007 as a stand-alone
carrier."
