I say good on them for hiring within the fAAmily. The WO guys bust their asses every day down in the sAAlt mines and deserve their reward. i've worked in those mines and we didn't get crap to show for it. So good on them.
Ohh, don’t get me wrong I don’t feel sorry for them one bit. Especially over those trying to leave Spirit. Plus I thought I was responding to an AA thread, wasn’t paying attention when I clicked my subscription email.
Was just commenting how it seemed reminiscent of pre-COVID where you couldn’t get hired by American unless you were flow or Mil. My Regional had less than 5 hired by AA each year after they started hiring again before COVID. We had a lot more people go to UA/DL/WN/UPS/FedEx
