Be careful about taking too many interviews in the end it might get ya. I had a friend that had the same dilemna and did both. He turned down the AE job for another job and turned out that he got furloughed in 6 months (I know go figure in this industry). But Eagle's got him on the black list now so he couldn't go back to them. But try them both in my opinion.

Just rumor mind you, but based upon what I know, if you have the opportunity right now to go to Eagle... take Eagle. Get yourself hired before the next few months though... otherwise you miss the boat. :-)
anybody already there will be happy....

I received a class date for Pinnacle on August 1st. Just yesterday I received the email from Eagle offering me an interview. Right now I am torn between whether or not to take the interview at Eagle or just decline the offer and keep my focus on Pinnacle for August 1st. I am obviously not going to turn down the offer at Pinnacle, I am looking forward to beginning there in about 2 weeks.
What would you all do? Take the interview at Eagle or decline the offer and focus on Pinnacle?
(I know the answer seems obvious, I am just trying to get some input.)

Why? Do you not understand what AA is trying to do? It obvious they will spin off flying or an entire fleet to another regional. It's a gamble going to Eagle. It could payoff or you might loose. AA wouldn't retain Goldman Sacs to to assist in spinning Eagle off if that wasn't their intentions. Look at what Delta did with Compass and Mesaba. AA will probably do something similar. If AA is retaining the 700's thats because they will package this fleet into a sale to another regional since its the only plane that has any value in today's market. No one would want 135's since these are becoming obsolete. Eagle will slowly fade these out.

Oh I have read the news. Have fun when you are furloughed or get sold out to new airlines if you should fall on that side of the stick. The truth is with all the hiring in the next 3-8 years you won't need that silly agreement to write your own ticket. Someone did the math and a new hire today I think would take 8-10 years to get called. Are you really going to wait that long? No, 3-5 years you can apply any any major vs waiting around for that shenanigans. Be carful, Eagle today isn't going to be Eagle tomorrow. LOOK AT COMPASS. AA is going to bid out your routes to the lowest bidder and the real growth will be at the regional that gains the AMR contract. I'm not trying to be negative or bash Eagle, it's just the reality of the economics.
