I was once given advice from a very successful UPS Captain and former Air Force Pilot, he told me "If you go to American Eagle, it will be career suicide".

I've come to understand why he told me that.

Do your own thing, try hard and bring a good attitude. The rest will work itself out.

Because he is a check airmen at UPS, a designated examiner on the side and is a very smart investor which has lead him to be financially set aside from his flying career.

I'm keeping a good attitude and I use everyday to look for new opportunities, it's my only option I have.

Ok that makes him successful and is now the voice of reason for what is better for you! I would rather fail in knowing that I made a decision for myself and tried, instead of going on with the "what if" for the rest of my life!

Back on topic.. New hires, make sure you ask lots of questions when the union representatives come in the class room on how they will protect you and your job. enjoy the pizza

These arrogant people who simply got lucky, then give advice that they don't have the experience to give. If I had a nickel for every military pilot who knew next to nothing about civilian aviation, well, I wouldn't have to fly for a living.

BTW, I don't work for Eagle, therefore, I am not just defending my decisions.
