He might be misinformed as well. I was just posting the info as I received them, that's why I said "apparently" there is a preferential hiring agreement, but if it is true, I don't know. I guess not.

Yes, it does suck when another regional carrier flying for the same mainline carrier is hiring and another furloughing. I'm furloughed Comair, and I do think it is BS when we were furloughing 300+ pilots and Mesaba and Compass were hiring.
