Its way too early to throw in the towel:
1. You were called before - so you have "something" DAL is looking for.
2. The hiring is just starting and may be substantial.
3. Yeah, I too would be bummed too if I had the carpet pulled out from under me but hang tough. Remember it is adversity that tests us and makes us appreciate success.
Good Luck and hang in there! Also, I agree with the previous posters about having a move positive outlook. I know its hard now, but I don't imagine it will be too hard when you get the call.
