They used to be their own "brand", ie airline, so maybe back then. It's a first class company though, we even had "class photos" done, I had my badge at noon on the first day to jumpseat and nonrev, etc. and that was after the "good old days". Heck get this - in order to get our health insurance started earlier they changed our hire date to the day before our official class date started, so we didn't wait 6 weeks for insurance to kick in and instead only had to wait 2 weeks (if you started <15th of the month you got it at the beginning of the next month, if you started >15th you had to wait till the month after). We even got paid for that extra day.
