Delta Air Lines
is to recall an additional 1,000 flight attendants in 2007. This latest recall is scheduled to begin in
January with as many as 500 previously furloughed flight attendants scheduled for training in the first few months of the year.
“Our recalls will help ensure a smoother operation for our customers and our people as we build a more competitive network during what
is the largest and most exciting international expansion in Delta’s history,” said Jim Whitehurst, Delta’s chief operating officer. Delta has
added or announced more than 70 new international routes since fall 2005, with many of the routes beginning later this year and during
2007.
“It is great that our plan is working and we are able to continue to bring back Delta people,” Whitehurst said. In September, Delta
announced a recall of more than 200 flight attendants, and its second pilot recall of 2006, for a total of approximately 130 pilots recalled
this year to date. The company also continues to recall maintenance personnel and is hiring in its Airport Customer Service and
Reservation divisions.
Delta
remains on track to emerge from Chapter 11 during the first half of 2007.
