For clarification...from a previous thread...
, I know there are still some cross-over Eastern types and Value-Jet types also...not going there with this thread.
There was no mention that VJ employees crossed anything nor was it inferred, just that certain employees that worked at Eastern (and now AT) had crossed the Eastern Airlines picket line...again, this thread "ISN'T GOING there."
The thread made reference to the VJ group and former Eastern Airlines group because they are, I presume the older in age and more senior types that may be more demographically interested in leaves of absence.
After further research, I see AT has hired a number of military pilots that may explore mil leave if leaves are offered.
Boiled down to an egg sandwich, if leaves are offered at AT, will the number of "takers" be significant given that it is a fairly "young", in my opinion, airline....simple question.
