LMAO !!!
You've been at Eagle like what..........six months (if that) ?
Now you're confidently hypothisizing what the future "former" Eagle is going to do with their operation and/or their certificates ?
IIRC, you were hammered on this forum previously for overstepping your Eagle knowledge prior to attending new-hire basic indoc at Eagle by pilots already having significant time on property.
At this tender stage of your career, I think you'd be better off ASKING questions instead of answering them. You're starting to come off looking like the Eagle/Industry expert. As a JFK EMJ F/O (going to MIA), are you setting your captains straight as well where Eagle and the industry are going ?
I know it's an intoxicating time for you wearing a snappy uniform and looking good in the mirror, but perhaps it's best not to let that get to your head too fast. It's just a suggestion, but you may want to observe and absorb your new world and get more of a solid foundation before coming to any certainties and then you can join subpilot who thinks he's got it all figured out.
BTW, the "shortage" your waiting for that has been predicted to come "any day now", has been predicted for decades. Yes, ebb and flow, up and down, but the true major retirement schedule that really impact the majors will not really get going until the end of this decade.
