From what I can recall, yes. As far as dates go.

Those pilots DOH is their theoretical class date at CAL, though they didn't get trained until later.
I believe that some never went over and stayed and are a part of the mysterious/super secret/illuminati/free mason group known as the "red circle" pilots

I'd venture to guess that the small group being referenced that may (or may NOT) be pushing for some kind of adjusted DOH is the SAME small group I made reference to before during the 2006 era. And IIRC, it was some of the "P.I.G.S."

Wasn't anybody from the ORIGINAL FTA, the amended (1 year in the jet) FTA, or the "Shindler's List". Everything seemed to work out just fine for them and they're probably long past caring about any DOH.

How about the MEC chairman - how does he fit into all this? I heard he was a COEX flowthrough as described above - but there were some other hijinks where he left to help start one of the undercutting upstarts. Go Jets or Freedom or something. The details are vague but it was explained to me that despite this he returned to CAL with his seniority intact.

If anyone can shed light on this - much obliged.

While we are throwing groups under the bus, how about all the UAL hires that came straight from interns in college to UAL with almost nothing more then a commercial pilot license and a year of instructing in a piper warrior. Or others with no qualification that get to check a box that others could not on their UaL application through out the 90s.

Struck a nerve? I think The Godfather is too busy to dirty himself with playground mentality.
