That’s not what I meant. I meant that if their pilots flew exclusively for each contract they would be qualified for Aviate just like Mesa. SkyWest pilots flying exclusively for United would qualify, those flying exclusively for another company wouldn’t. Personally, I don’t expect SkyWest or Republic to want that. They are big and will be around for a long time and don’t really have recruitment problems.
