ASA is now expressjet. Eagle is furloughing so it's in the sucky column right now.

Go back 6 months ago and we were the place to be. My point is things change fast at the regional level.

Default changing regionals

Not at C5....things don't ever change there...I hear the new ALPA contract is only the slightest of slight improvements. If you know going in your are going to a total bottom feeder just to get your time and get out you will be ok.

Post contract, I had less days off, worse trips, and brought home less money. Talking to guys in my class, that seemed typical.

For some senior Captains, it brought good improvements. For me as an FO who was about 2/3 the way down the list when it was came into play, and about 1/3 the way down when I left, I was much happier with my pre-contract job.

I don't think Eagle has been the place to be in a long time.

Any current pilots willing to pm me with some schedule details such as how many days on/off a reserve pilot can expect to have in a row. is it easy to trip trade/work out deals with scheduling to work an extra day to have an extra day off? Also, how long will a new guy be on reserve and how long to upgrade? Thanks guys.
