Kaboy, the FACT of the matter is that AIPA would have no input into the recruitment of pilots from outside mainline unless it was proposed that they take positions out of seniority i.e. coming in as FO's and Captains.
AIPA does not set the recruitment standards or is it involved in any of that side of things.
If these pilots were to be deployed as FO's in mainline, that would be an industrial situation and I can see why AIPA would get involved, as would be the same if the situation was reversed.
