Well...No I'm not at Eagle. And I think the pref. hiring thing is BS. Just a carrot to keep the a$$ pulling the cart.
But I'm curious, why do you say APA (or ALPA) would never allow that, (other than we pilots ability to always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory)! I see no loss to the mainline guys in the process. Any pain would be felt at the RJ level. And that would only be temporary. It would definitely shift the negotiating power back to the union.
