Yes they can.

Commuting to/from work every week. It isn't $15 to jump-seat.

Coach has a value predetermine by the route so does Buss or First Class.

It works out in avrg, 3 hr flt, MD80-757 (2007) $16 COACH $20.50 FIRST
ONE WAY.

If coach if full, you are to take and pay FIRST, if that is full, JS seat by SEN.

All taken from you paychk and tracked on Company Site.
ONE GREAT THING ABOUT AA/AE = JETNET

In order to avoid paying, can you just say you are sitting up front and once you get on the plane and talk to the captain, just go find a seat in the back; or do they automatically charge you if there is any empty seat on the plane?

Doesn't work that way. The agent controlls your fate. If there is a seat in the back, they have to give it to you. There has been once or twice when there was a seat still left open and I had a 1W ticket. Depending where it was ment if I took it or not.

If I get furlough from my current job I rather quit flying than go to American Eagle. thanks but no thanks!

You and me buddy, and for some weird reason I think we are not alone.

I won't have my birth certificate by my interview next week. Is that going to be an issue for hiring? In fact, it's going to take 6-9 weeks. I have EVERYTHING else on the list they sent me. Any advice?

What are your times/background? It says you are a CFI. Were you in the hiring pool before?

I'm reading these post by a couple of you who are claiming to "educate" the younger folks, which is cool and all, but everyone has/had different experiences. Yeah, if the opportunity comes, I'm jumping ship too. But working at Eagle isn't too much different than working at some of the other regionals.

Everyone has their ups and downs, pros and cons. So far, everything my old man told me about 121 life has come true and he used to work for ATA and that's not a regional.

This job is a piece of cake. For the folks who whine and complain, I challenge you to spend 7 days straight for 3 months to a year turing wrenches in the middle of the desert, in a combat zone trying to generate combat aircraft for sorties. Sitting RSV is waaay better than that B.S. Did that crap for 13 years fellas!

So for me, the grass is greener, a different shade of green, but greener.

I picked Eagle because I wanted to live in Dallas and was ready to make the transition from active duty AF maintenance to flying professionally. I was 32 so way to old for military flyng and didn't have the mins for anyone else (I had 1200TT 100ME). I also got hired my Mesaba and Piedmont.

Does the pay suck? Yup!! If you have no other income. Does RSV suck? Yup! Does upgrade time suck? Yup! But for some of us, that's not on the radar.

Here's a question, where should these guys start if the regionals aren't the answer? Where should I have started? CFI'n? Fly'n check's? Continue to fly pipeline?

I don't plan to stay here my entire career. But if I have to, I will. Am I any less of a person if I do?

If there is better, hook me up with a job.

ERJF15

Then don't come. Where are you at now? I probably wouldn't come there myself.
