Deliverance ?
Now, you've got dueling managements all jockying for the best sales pitch to staff THEIR AA regional airline, that's all. Promises and optimistic projections are easy to make, don't cost a dime and have no downside. In fact, this EXACT approach has been used before at Eagle/Envoy to lead and lure dopey pilots and so, if you've got little else to work with (Hashimoto's BIG moves came up empty), it's worth a shot !
Can't blame them at all, really. I mean just look how some have not only taken the bait, but are shopping it around to others as a full time job on multiple forums.
