I don't ever have a problem with preferential interviews, but am not a fan of forced hiring in any industry.
I guess that's where ALPA National Communications got the talking point that the agreement ensured the hiring of Pinnacle pilots. Guess my theory that we could just hire 0 and let the Pinnacle pilots grieve it was more correct than I thought...
