125 more pilot jobs is still good, however as someone else mentioned we might lose an equivalent number of LCA's from Standards and end up with a wash if they did double duty with training/standards as single department. All pie-in- the-sky as I see too much institutional inertia to change anytime soon. Even if it was a zero sum I like DAL pilots teaching other DAL pilots, no matter how good the DGS guys.
Any intel on when the AE will be out?
