There is a reason that they are going to LAS. If you want to work here I would go.
It may mean that you are furlough fodder, but that is a personal choice.
On thread. I have not heard of DAL paying for anyones flight school. He may get to drop 60K+ at one of the flight farms to guarantee an interview with a DCI carrier, but that is it.
Also we have a few programs for WIA and OBAP that give them an 737 type and if they perform well, they got an interview for a pilot position here at DAL. Most of these candidates come from the regionals and are very well qualified. Definitely the exception and not the rule.
