Sim certification is a tricky business. Could be quick, could take months, or years. Still have to build the building first.

I don’t think that’s still anytime soon. We aren’t sending them to China for new cabin mods just to park them in the near term future. We need more 330’s on property and I’m guessing if we keep running AE’s like this we will just continue to see more and more growth with the 330. But we need more 330 orders too. Nothing really showing 76’s are at near term risks

Wonder if a few smaller AEs will get folks to jump for NB A now they “appear” more scarce.

“We plan to schedule training for current Delta pilots who receive awards through this bid in September. A small portion of pilots could start earlier, and a few pilots may train later, potentially in the first half of October.“
This stuck out to me…basically a full admission that this AE is strictly to create new hire positions and that manning is so tight this summer that they can’t afford to lose bodies. I think this lines up with them claiming this small AE is due to pilot feedback, but really because they’re running at red line.
“If you are currently on property and receive an award on this AE, don’t expect any movement until September.”
