I have a few friends there, they've been there 1-2 years, they stay there because they can same day commute (as opposed to AWAC) and have a 3 on/3 off schedule with 15 (true) days off a month. Second year in the RJ is around $30k/yr which I guess for them is enough. It's more about QOL than anything else; American and Eagle aren't going anywhere for the time being and their bases have remained pretty stable throughout the years (again referencing AWAC here...
).

I'm an eagle FO, its a decent QOL but I would definitely want to move on. After a few years of sitting in the right seat of an RJ where can you really go from there? No PIC turbine time. Start over at another regional in hopes of quicker upgrade? I am open to suggestions! The flowthrough here is a joke and if any eagle FO thinks they will ever flow through to AA then they are smoking crack.

eagle upgrade times= forever!
have a buddy who has been to two different bases, been thru two airplanes (Saab and EMB-145) and has been in the right seat for 7 years now.. he applied to Continental in the winter and the denied him because he had a lack of career progression and wanted to see some 121 PIC time
is it me, or do the airlines always want the one thing you cant get or dont have?
