So you're insinuating that because once you are at a major you're above talking to those at the regionals? I thought regional pilots were all about being treating like equals with the major pilots. Interesting to see the continued hypocrisy by some.
As to what/what I don't know.....I do know that this board is anonymous so you really don't know who you are conversing with. But I'm pretty confident with what I know and where I get my info.

And you'd be wrong, we have about 12,000
qualified applicants. If you have been to a career fair lately (I have), then you would know that the wait to speak to a UAL recruiter can exceed 2 hours. Go ahead and see for yourself in Dallas this weekend for the WAI convention. I will give you this though, those same 12,000 applicants most likely have their apps in with DAL and AAG, so I can't really claim them all as UAL applicants.

Sorry, but an applicant
is responsible for disclosing everything in his or her backgrounds. The time at which it happens to be discovered is at the discretion of the company as long as the person doesn't turn a wheel in an actual airplane. In the regional environment, the pickens are slim, and Mesa chooses to roll the dice and get folks in class. They have a business to run....if you did it then you'd better be willing to OWN it!
