A good idea.
We've hired many Spirit pilots before this, pilot hiring is well aware of the Spirit Pilots' quality. It would be nice though like you said to try to get some priority for them here at DAL. A worthy endeavor and hopefully it can get thru in time should the MEC pursue it. I would hope the company though doesn't ask for something in return. But that would be up to the MEC and us to determine how much a give we'd let them grab for this.
