I don't remember that being the case, and cannot see how the hiring of them would have been required by the award while at the same time requiring them to resign or interview for the position. I don't remember for sure but I think even the furloughs that came over still interviewed, they were able to maintain seniority basically because there was not a company for them to resign from.

There were some later determinations by Eischen saying the fence did not apply to priority for line bidding, and that's really all I can remember from that time frame.

I think the hiring of both groups was more of a "We are One" type gesture more than anything else, and we probably could have hired off the street at that time. Essentially that is what we did in regard to the Chautauqua pilots that came over.
