Even after getting on pathways you sit till they need a slot filled regardless of hours and there isnt any apperent priority given to pathways folks.
Anecdotally, online there does seem to be a whole lot of Skywest people at AS, and that cuts across generations... new hires, 30-year guys, and everything in between.
Some of that is presumably geographic... AS likes to hire folks who live near their bases, West Coast people like bases on the West Coast, and OO largely has the Western US regional market locked up.
