But all of those pilots were properly qualified and had untainted backgrounds. They wouldn't have made it through the application screening process otherwise. With those backgrounds, the candidate didn't make it through the interview process on a competitive basis. That's life.
A straight merger with an RJ airline would have unqualified and wrong backgrounds joining a major airline. That is not going to happen IMO.
