Is Delta adding double the amount of simulators? Or is this an overly optimistic projection?
I realistically do not think it is possible, without a bunch more simulators. I call bull **** on their announcement.
There are a bunch of AA pilots that are not current. The schoolhouse is doing requals in the simulators as fast as they can. Will not be caught up for 2 more months.

Their pilot recruiting just walked it back to 1000 total by next summer.
