The integration agreement that was proposed between SSA and EAA gave protection to ALL existing SSA pilots as of the cutoff date, which meant that the only way anyone for the first 5 years could transfer to SSA would be as an FO at a base that no existing FO wanted. All existing FO’s in SSA would have preference on any Commands that came up in SSA.
As I understand the Southern Pilots have assimilated into EAA quite well, the EAA pilots that are with SSA had to resign from EAA and be interviewed etc. so not really a transfer.
