Delta and Northwest Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September of 2005, after competitors United and US Airways had already entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Now, things are looking up for Delta and Northwest and they are hiring back some furloughed pilots and flight attendants. Delta announced Thursday that it will recall 1,000 of its 3,800 furloughed flight attendants, after already recalling 300 others. About 400 furloughed Northwest pilots have been offered the opportunity to come back as the airline looks to fill 225 positions. It is expected that many of the pilots will not return as the wages are lower than when they previously flew for the airline and many have found other positions.
