Seems like a pointless idea given that not all of the inactives have even been offered positions yet, the company has already started building a hold file of externals, and the training pipeline is the bottleneck rather than the supply of candidates.

Why alienate a remaining source of qualified, experienced and previously trusted pilots for no benefit.
