I realize we are in agreement but I'll just point out that "professionalism" has nothing to do with it since it's the unions which control seniority.DustyBottoms said:It would be very unprofessional to interview a pilot, offer him a job, put him into a pool for class and then put a thousand or so other pilots ahead of him.

In the airline business the difference is everything. Until you actually start class you're not on the payroll and hence not "hired". Being in a pool is a non-binding intent to hire. It's just the way it is. Heck, technically I'm still in the pool to be hired by ACA. Nobody told me otherwise but I'm not holding my breath.Luke said:What is the difference between "offering him a job", and being hired?
