You have absolutely nothing figured out in your short time at Eagle. An education is coming.
Maybe they should bring back the idea of 80/80/80? Or for modern times maybe itll be 319/for 31right/130left, 90month??

Yes. That's why I said just over 100 PIC and 125 total.

Guess I misinterpreted your post, sorry. Hope you can hang onto your seat a while.

I've heard something very similar except the source was a lot more concrete than a check airman. Possibly good things to come (at AA that is) but as we all know only time will tell.

Well if good things are to come at AA then good things for Eagle pilots considering the preferential hiring.

Probably right. But it would at least help if they took the 824 this year

Wingtips, when are you going to take an English language class and actually learn how to make a complete sentence without spelling and punctuation mistakes?

What do you think the negatives would have been to being divested as opposed to now being wholly owned and in BK? I would like to know what you truly think each outcome would result in, as opposed to just using "STOP TALKING, GOJET is hiring" as your 'talking point'.
I flew with many senior "experienced" capt's that predicted exactly what would happen to a T...First our MEC would give away all our airplanes to AA so they could add more debt to file Bankruptcy-Check...Second they would try and divest us as fast as possible and try to get us to extend our contract-Check...Push it down our throat and scare us that its our only hope before the end of the year because they are planning a bankruptcy before the 4Q earnings-Check....The only reason we didn't get divested was because managment knew that TA would never pass...If we were divested right now they would walk right up to the judge and bid out our flying... We would not be part of AA and just have a contract like all the other contracts they are trying to void threw bankruptcy..Remeber our MEC gave away our rights to go with the aircraft...Its going to be harder to convince the judge to diversify the feed when AA owns 3200+ eagle pilots...Comair ****ed off delta when they had a strike and grounded delta to a halt..Why do you think airlines whipsaw their regionals now?..guess what? we can't strike because we gave that right up and that TA would of extended our current contract 8 more years...It doesn't matter now because its all in the judges hands and can go in any direction...This was all planned in advance and out of our hands.

FYI I was just saying your cool with pbs and giving in to what managment wants....Gojet might be a better fit for you...

I wrote this on my Iphone so the spelling and grammer are very poor
