Might be able to figure it out, 95% of the JCBA was originally Mesaba contract language, so if what we've got currently for ready reserve is the same or worse than Mesaba's ready reserve language then we'd know.
I think it was Pinnacle pilots that wanted to avoid the hat, the hat was required at Mesaba, though lots of guys didn't wear it.
