Now if DAL was to move aircraft AFTER the fence comes down, you're right. Which is the obvious reason why they will not do that. If they wanted the 747 in ATL, it would be much cheaper and easier to do it before the fence falls.
I was thinking more that instructors would be leaving to get on the equipment while they can. They can elect to go where ever their seniority holds when leaving the training department, but after the fence falls they might not be senior enough to jump on.
Sounds like a large % might leave this summer which might be part of the reason to hire instructors now.
