It depends on how you choose to look at it. It's no more shaky then ANY other regional! This new asa Is a nine year deal. Get hired on now (before oct 11) and have a chance to go to AA, if your number comes up it's straight to class at AA no interview or medical. The flying is NOT going anywhere soon! The atrs will be starting to leave (which was going to happen divestiture or not) next year but that is still not a big deal. Eagle is still very understaffed, and every single captain I have spoken flown with is leaving to AA as soon as their number is chosen. The next group starts going to AA in November.

I was riding with two AA crews yesterday trying to get home. Both said the same thing i have been hearing, AA has to start hiring now, and they are not going to give up their scope. They'll strike first.

So for all the people who keep saying eagle cannot make it because they only have 50 seaters. well, so will ANY other carrier who tries to fly for AA.

Could Eagle sink? Sure. However it could also be the place to be! Youngest Captain I believe is 4yr 3months, and that number is dropping. A lot of senior captains are leaving!

I have helped a couple guys try to get on with eagle and I'm still encouraging them to do so.
