I'm sure there are plenty of AWAC captains who have enough points, but haven't been taken regardless. Meaning, UAL hasn't exactly been in any hurry to hire people away from AA. So it doesn't make sense to correlate this supposed new agreement with the idea that UAL wants to poach from American.

And the idea/hope certainly doesn't add validity to this supposed distressed carrier arrangement either. Not a peep about any of this in that stupid fastread today either. Very frustrating.
