It is obvious that TSH has no plans of merging lists, therefore recalling TSA pilots to CPZ would have no benefit to TSH
Glider..now that's funny!
There is no rhyme or reason to who gets called for an interview, let alone hired, at an airline. Being qualified is often no help.
My time quals are above requirements at most airlines by a factor of 10 to 20 times. No accidents, no violations, never failed a checkride in 38 years of flying. Yet the Compass's, of the world won't even call for an interview.
That's the way it is and I am not upset by it. It does bother me, however, when I read a post that implies that all one must do is apply somewhere and, voila, they get hired. The implication is that if it doesn't happen for an individual there must be something wrong with him or his work ethic.
There are thousands of qualified furloughed pilots on the street. There will be more to come as Comair and Mesaba shed dozens of aircraft from their fleets in the next 2 years. It is a reasonable question, and by extension request, for those furloughed from the same parent company to get preferential hiring at the sister airline.
