Does anyone know for sure if ATR seat locks are the full 12 months? I've heard they expire 2 weeks before your hire date

I jump-seated home with an ERJ ORD FO last night and he indicated that hiring should start up again based on the "700 pilots per year projection" with the 500/25. Anyone else heard this rumor or think it will occur?

Eagle's going to have to take pay cuts, which you shouldn't, to keep or gain any flying. Right now with the cost structure Eagle can't compete, which means more layoffs to come. It's always good to keep high hopes but the airline industry likes to crush them.

I think the 2 weeks you're referring to is the ability to bid for any vacancy as long as it's within 2 weeks of your seat lock. I'll see if I can find the exact wording in the contract.

Either way you're about to be displaced out of Miami ATR so stop worrying about it.

eaglefly, im glad you went to American, your grasp on reality is better fit there, you should get involved more with the APA too. If you were still at Eagle and on the MEC, you surly would have sealed us a comair fate.

Ummm, industry average? Eagle's the second highest cost behind Comair. As far as doom and gloom, yeah many are but you always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
