So lemme get this straight... Between now and... sometime... soon... DAL is gonna move the 747 sim to ATL... get it certified... all the while maintaining a continuous level of training... then pay perdiem to the guys in MSP so that they will go to ATL and continue that level of training.. all the way thru the end of 2012....
It's not like 747 sim instructors are rare. The sim will be down while it is disassembled and moved.. reassembled, and re-certified. Wouldn't DAL be able to find suitable replacements in that time period? Don't start with the corporate knowledge thing either... I just don't buy that one.. Fire away
