recognized as one of the \u2018Best Companies to Work For\u2019 for fifth year.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having avoided furloughs last year, the company said it was restoring the pilots to full-flying status due to the federal payroll support program and available training capacity starting in March and April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a

as vaccinations roll out across the world, and we look forward to restoring all affected pilots back to full flying status as the recovery continues,\u201d said John Laughter, senior vice president of flight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he reiterated that Delta expects its average cash burn in the first quarter to be between $10 million and $15 million per day, with customer demand likely to be similar to the depressed levels seen in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are encouraged that Delta has begun recalling pilots that the pandemic has sidelined,\u201d a spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association, a union that represents Delta pilots, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
