Schindler's List was a slang term used to describe the "saved" 118 total number of pilots that received the last "Flow Through" credits (except for payscale - pay was reverted to 5 year COEX Contract '97 pay until CAL 2002 rates caught up as opposed to the 10 year Captain rate most had at the time of flow-over - this was contrary to the prior flow through arrangement but was changed per the MOU) although roughly 30 passed on the guaranteed flow over before hiring began in 2005.

There is still bad blood around that entire deal, namely the P.I.G's who were the Preferential Interview Group, who lost all benefits of the flow over but the pref hire status. In reality there were over 300 in the list and an artificial dividing line was placed at the last pilot to complete both his CAL Interview and Sim Ride, the 118 were born, which was totally random in reality due to the company limiting when they were interviewing and offering sim rides and off the streets had priority over pool interviews from COEX. There were 3 ways to get into the hiring pool at the time, be the top 110, interview/sim in, or 2 year RJ PIC..but with the 3:1 ratio Off the street, most of us drowned in the pool at COEX and had to wait until the MOU was agreed upon. The Schindler's List guys/gals then went first to CAL when hiring began.
