That's conventional wisdom, but is it true?
APA, UAL and CAL don't allow 76 seaters in the small portion of their scope. How has career progression worked out at each one of those carriers?
APA - furloughs
UAL - furloughs
CAL - furloughed in 2008, recalled, slow hiring of furloughed UAL pilots
DAL - no furloughs, small (300) hiring in 2010.
Why is it that the airline with the "weakest" small jet scope never furloughed and the tighter guys did?
