But the benefits are good, and after 15 or 20 years you get like 5 weeks vacation (you'll be there that long too...)
They also give you an AA mainline medical exam, similar to a military flight physical. If you're not in PERFECT condition, you'd better think twice about spending money on an eagle bridge. Mesa for example just wants to make a photocopy of your FAA medical cert...
Thanks. Yah i was just wondering because one of the schools I was talking to had one. I still think I would prefer to go into mesa's program after I get a degree. But yah the upgrade time at AE is insane.
Well hopefuly by the time I get out of university the industry will be back in high gear.
