My guess, based on a minuscule sample, AAL will (new) hire military pilots as they have since the the 1980s. Will they use the Eagle flowbies to supplement the pilot pool and provide the GA side?

In the past, some advanced the idea that military guys made lousy union members and were/are mission hackers. True or not, it has been espoused in the past. Eagle pilots... glad to have a job, even with the pay cut with the totally uncertain future at Eagle. Do Eagle flows have indigestion with ALPA? How does that play in their attitude in the New AAL?

I have no idea what the balance/ratio/preference has been at UsAir, but it will certainly be interesting to see how that influences things going forward. If their is really a NEW AAL, one place it must start is with initial selection and training.
