They don't have enough instructors in the school house and the check airmen are backed up. I don't see how they can handle it.
Let's hope some of this banter is true!
Training could always be outsourced if needed. There are sims in DEN/MIA with certified instructors and it could be made available for the right price I'd imagine. If podunk regional airlines can grow 100% year over year when they get a big order (like Compass and Mesa did last year) then Allegiant can. Even cheapo Mesa has often sent new hires to Copenhagen to get things done.
