How about those working at RAH shine in and inform us you are pushing to get back all the previous pilots before such would occur???
Look, I do have more than "zero knowledge" about the ongoings at RJET. I am asking this question because I want to confirm what would seem to be strange to hire when there are so many people on furlough.
However, until an integration occurs (which could take a while), the only actual amount of furloughs that need to be recalled before hiring occurs is well under a 100 by now. (original RAH pilots furloughed before the aquisitions.)
Bottom line is, if Republic needs pilots before the integration, then they will need to hire. The furloughed Frontier, Midwest, and Lynx pilots could not just start working for RP, RW, or S5 until an integration. Although, they could apply as a new-hire like anyone else.
So, I'll ask the question again: What is the deal with needing to recruit internal pilot interview volunteers, if they aren't going to start interviewing pilots?
