Maybe at Comair, but not at ASA. When I started there in 1995, there was no marketing department, ans all we flew was DL code. There was no independant route structure, flown with ASA code. As far as millionaires, only George and John were. They were the majority owners, and if memory serves, there were no pilots with any stock of any sizable amount.
