Eastern Airlines stopped hiring pilots Friday, saying this week's surge of union pilots across the picket line has filled the company's needs.
"I guess this announcement is Eastern's way of saying they've won," said Louis Marckesano, an airline analyst for Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia.
Eastern spokesman Robin Matell said the recent crossovers -- called "crawlbacks" by some -- enabled Eastern to fill its quota of 1,700 pilots.
DOLPHINS NEED TO OPEN WALLET FOR OFFERDAHL

Yes, linebacker John Offerdahl should be in Dolphin training camp. But not for the reason the Dolphins believe.
There are those who will tell you that Offerdahl should be in camp because his contract has an option clause for one more year.
Wrong. Offerdahl should be in camp because of this: He has been so embarrassingly underpaid that the Dolphins should have taken care of him two years ago.
They should have called Offerdahl in, ripped up his contract and given him a huge raise. They should have shaken his hand and told him this: "You've been outstanding, John, and when our players are that outstanding, this is what happens."
Had that happened, Offerdahl would be in camp.
