Baja,
Once the training department gets spooled up 750 is the lower end of our capacity. Not only did we hire 1000/year as a stand alone Delta in the late 90s and 2000 but SD put out these numbers during the base visits:
We could sustain 60-70/month minimum for years, with a surge capability at slower times. 60x12=720, 70x12=840, so with a few surge months above these numbers 1000/year should not be a problem.
Not to mention when they really want to train in a hurry they will contract additional simulators to boost capacity even more.
For all the base visit info go back and look at the DAL Latest and Greatest post 127487 from March 28, 2013.
