Also, NO division of AE was EVER Pay For Training (PFT). Thank God they never went there.

CoEx pilots back then who went through that were considered nearly SCABS because they PAID to fly for a company, rather than being PAID to fly. They caught a LOT of hell on these forums back then. However, as far as I know, pretty much ALL of those guys flowed over to Continental within a couple of years, so they had the last laugh, I guess. Many are captains at the New UAL now. Who figured?!
