Just got mine and the exp date area is blank. no exp date. I paid $60.00 for a piece of paper!!! What a joke.

Yes! Piece of paper that will let you have a job. Lol!

YoDigity514

Well I have a problem with that. The FCC does not need to have 60 more dollars so that I can talk in another country.

haha, get over yourself. He is just venting

Trust me I am one of the most optomistic ones about the airlines, and just like pagey said, just venting. I guess that did come out like I won't do some things do get a jet job. Honestly, if they said you gotta buy a clown suit and work in the circus on the side...I would have a red nose.

So I have a question about commuting. How feasible would it be to commute from SLC to DFW if I was sitting reserve? Do many pilots at eagle commute that route? Also, I know this is hard to tell but does anyone know how long a new hire in DFW would sit reserve with all this growth? I am hoping for 6 months? lol

Check passrider.com for a list of commuting options and keep in mind when you fly AA/AE you will pay roughly $12 per flight for coach class when commuting until you hit 5yrs seniority. It is free to ride on other airlines.

Realistically, it would be hard to commute into DFW on the same day if you had a sign-in time before noon. You would probably get stuck commuting in the night before and hanging at a crashpad if you had reserve. Last flight out of DFW-SLC is 9:15pm, which should be a reasonable time to catch a flight home, if there arent a dozen other AA/AE guys fighting for the last seat

Eagle is down to a 6 year upgrade. Junior CRJ CA in LGA is going to be a 9/04 hire.

Is the last bid result out yet!!!!

6 year upgrade time with the current fleet size, flow thru's, economy and contract.

The upgrade time was 9-10 yrs for awhile there. The only reason we made this jump to 6 yrs was because of the bubble between 01' and 04' without hiring.

We need to consider the future of the 37 seat fleet as well as the 44 seat fleet...and whether there are going to be any new aircraft in the future.

Contract after 2012.

Whether we get sold.

The scope section in the upcoming (someday) AA pilot contract.

I don't want to be a negative nancy but I don't want new hires to think that an upgrade is 6 yrs away.

Realistically, in 2016 will AE still have all the 37/44 seaters? All those 50 seaters? A contract? A demand for almost 3000 pilots?

That is how I think of it.

Congrats to the 04' guys upgrading though. It is good to see the turn around and movement at AE.
