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.
