It doesn't happen very often where UAL is hiring and other carriers are furloughing. But I think this particular statement was put in when UAL was hiring, Delta had furloughs, and Pan Am was going out of business. It's been a while ago. We also picked up a bunch of Continental strikers back in...1988-89??
I know I gave out a few applications to furloughed Delta during Desert Storm in 1990.
