Unlike the flow through, which may or may not be a contractual right (depending on what the courts decide), the preferential hiring is something that we have no right to, and that is offered at the whim of mainline. Hopefully they will decide to continue it when hiring resumes, as they indicated they intended to do at the May PHX Crew News; they are, however, under no actual obligation to do so.
