Its a shame that's why I hope we give them pref hiring.
Please see what I posted in response to the other guy. Same thing. There's a lot of really good people besides the Midwest pilots that need jobs too. Everybody can't get preferential treatment. Where do you draw the line? Major vs regional? Boeing/Airbus vs RJ? Paycheck? Codeshare agreements? 121 vs fracs? Military vs civilian?
May the best pilots win regardless of what their circumstances are. If that turns out to be all Midwest guys, great. I couldn't be happier. If that means a different outcome then so be it. I'd be happy for the other guys too.
