Delta Airlines Reportedly Planning to Bring Back 400 Pilots on Return to Active Flying

Delta Airlines plans to offer some 400 pilots active flying status by summer as it positions itself for a rebound in travel demand, according to CNBC. The pilots are already receiving regular pay under $15 billion in additional government aid that Congress approved late last year. 

• The pilots to be recalled will undergo additional flight training to fly certain aircraft.
• Delta’s pilots avoided layoffs last year after the union agreed to reduced pay and no flying requirements for some 1,700 junior aviators.
