DAL does not pay for training during the 20 days of sims, and I think this should be changed. You can get a single hotel room for $1800 with breakfast and a shuttle to training. However, training pay is $3775/mo, $1275 more than JB training pay, so $2550 more over a 60 day training footprint. Add in $600 of uniforms that DAL also doesn't pay for, and you end up with about a push. BTW, you get positive space home during your breaks between sims.
As for line pay not starting till after IOE? True. So for two weeks, you have to "suffer" with DAL training pay... which coincidentally is almost exactly what you will be paid at JB for the remainder of the first year.
