Considering the fact that this AA opportunity for Eagle guys came from a geivance between the Pilot union and the company I don't think it was done to recruit specially when 12 hrs later the parent company announced that they were separating Eagle into it's own company. So no it didn't come out of not having enough resumes on file. As far as the ATP course, something similar was done a few years ago and is probably something that soon will be a norm in this industry!
