So let me get this straight, they have to give you guys 48 a year out of the x amount interviewed at American? Does this mean that they will not take more than 48 from any one regional throughout the year? If they do, then how exactly is this a win for you guys? Also, lets say an "Idiot" fails, how long before he can re-interview?

Something for you to think about. With the new United and American following the footsteps of Delta, how long do you think they (in your case, American) will be keeping the 50 seaters around as well as coming to you with the rate resets? The reason why I am asking is because you are in the know of all of managements decisions.
