Seņor Fly,
I will admit that I am new to this forum. But the posts that i have read from you on the Eagle life thread vs this thread are quite different.
On my opinion or background.....I spent 6 years in the right seat at Eagle and left for a career choice that would hopefully get me and my family to AA. Had I stayed.....I would be a DCE and pending the 824 issue....could hold a spot to go to AA. So I think that I have the background to understand a few things about AMR and the "operations" there.
As for the furlough comment, isn't it "when" not "if"? I never wish for anyone to get furloughed.....I have the full intention to go to AA if able....why the he!! would I want you or anyone else to see the street?
As to the scaring people away......there are too many people here and on Eagle Lounge (which I have been since 05) that make decisions based on info that they can gain from these forums. I have the power of "The Force" and know when to raise the bs flag.
Simply.....I read a lot of negativity into your posts here and think that you have become much more critical and negative since your "flowing".

IMHO, my comments about my "current locale" are fairly balanced. There's good and not so good everywhere. I said the same of my experiences of Eagle while there too and pulled no punches with my opinions. To what degree others consider them is their own choice.
Commuting on RSV with one of the worst RSV systems in the industry and poor staffing is never fun, however I signed up for this and thus accept it. That doesn't mean I won't acknowledge it, but aside from that aspect, my current local is an improvement over my past and it's future is FAR more likley to be more rewarding then my past.
You did mean ""IF" the furlough man comes knockin", didn't you ?
But of course you didn't, as this freudian slip belies the thought you'd enjoy it if me and hundreds of AA pilots were furloughed (or re-furloughed), otherwise you'd have used the term "if". I knew many Eagle pilots who salivated at that thought while I was there and it seems you're of this cloth (and your compadre chastises me for giving Eagle pilots a bad rep.......tsk, tsk).
Scratch two more jugs.
Additionally, it's folly to think any given pilot would be "scared off" going to any carrier based solely on opinion on a internet pilot forum, so this thought is something I don't know at all, but it seems you do and this too is error. It's unfortunate you're so misguided about my statements and opinions, but considering what's going on at Eagle, I can see that stress does indeed cloud the judgement and perception.
I have many friends still at Eagle very concerned about the future and my sympathies go out to them and you. I certainly wish better for you, then apparently you do for me.
