Still, your point is well taken.
The wholly owned carriers definitely fit in that group(eagle, PSA, pdt, pinnacle, others?). The word "affiliate" carrier could be used to refer to a United Express/UAL relationship, in my opinion. Either way it would be a legal battle that the newhire has to fight on their own depending on how JB interprets things.
