Actually it does... Piedmont's agreement with American is flowing all pilots (unless they bypass), in seniority order to mainline... no interview, no catches unless of course they fail training, in which case they return to Piedmont ... they simply give them a class date once it's their turn. There is no language in the agreement that allows American to deny any Piedmont pilot the flow, regardless of things like jet time or college degrees. Now PSA, on the other hand, has preferential interviews.. so those guys could be denied based on something like lacking a college degree, if American chose to do so.
