Delta recalling furloughed pilots, flight attendantsDelta Air Lines Inc., the nation's third-largest carrier, said Friday it is recalling up to 65 furloughed pilots and 200 flight attendants to provide cabin relief and help service the company's expanded destinations. Recalled pilots will begin training in October and return to flights for Delta afterward. Atlanta-based Delta recalled 64 pilots in June.
