Your post makes you seem somewhat eager for us to put some of our fellow pilots on the street...
This doesn't make sense because those training slots, SIM time can be utilized for displaced pilots, instead AMR has choose to train new hires while part of the DFW ATR base sits at home and gets their class date pushed back for SIM time, that happen last Monday, some guys training was adjusted because of lack of SIM tim so this sounds like BS to me! Now, don't get me wrong I am not complaining about this, the more guys we can keep employed (and below me) the better but the excuse about SIM time being purchased doesn't chive with me specially if they had reserved the slots and wouldn't need the any more they could reject the contract in CH 11. Now if they paid already that's a different story but again those SIM times could still be used for displaced line pilots not new hires.
