True, I guess they could interview them all and hire zero and still be legal? It says "(3) a commitment by Delta to hire a minimum number of Pinnacle pilots" - and then further down lists the numbers that will be hired. So they would either have to exhaust the list the first month....tough to interview that many. Or some of them will be gaurenteed employment each month until that occurs. I don't ever have a problem with preferential interviews, but am not a fan of forced hiring in any industry.
