You're not seeing the entire picture. I have a class date with Airways that's right around when I'd be able to interview with AA. If you were in my shoes what would you do? I’d have to turn down a bird in hand for the one in the bush or start ground at Airways then leave for AA....... and that’s just ridiculous? It’s the same airline. It’s not like being hired at US and having an interview lined up with DL. As you know, Airways and AA are currently two different roads that lead to the same job. Taking this into account I’ll take the first class I can get into which means by going to Airways I’m in class a month earlier than if I waited for AA. Also, commuting out of where I live is much easier on Airways than AA since BNA used to be an AA domicile and there are lots of AA pilots who still live here.
When talking about the SLI, there’s a long precedence for everyone who’s been hired after the snap shot being placed on the bottom based on DOH.
