Just FYI - people hired at eagle got a high level of scrutiny in the early '00. Cog, psych, hearing, x-ray. Full medical work up. Sim was a 707. While it wasn't an AA interview, it was by far the most intense regional hiring process out there.
That's just for those people at that time. Eagle is a bunch of different airlines mashed together who did not go through that process, and neither have those hired since then.
