Just like some DBs/A-holes can put on the 45 minute show in a face to face, almost anybody can go to the sim prep, spend the money, get the EXACT profile and go a good (enough) job.

Pre 9-11 the prep/gouge was out there for the basement UAL AST (or Frasca?) sim, in the 2005-2008 era at CAL, the prep/gouge was out there for the CAL sim, etc.
Buzzpat, Badflaps and John,

And nothing about Delta reporting 100M loss due to Obamacare, interesting. Yet another hang up for hiring and jobs.

I wouldn't anticipate that being an issue with DL hiring unless it throws the rest of the economy into a lag. It would have to be a serious lag, too... with the exchange of 717s for RJ lift, the international focus, plus retirements, it would take something crazy to slow hiring down.
