Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan - Pilots being displaced. Possible furloughs in the future. New ISL is a cluster with no chance of being fixed soon.

Republic/Shuttle - Playing a game of Unionized hardball by parking and furloughing pilots.

Go Jet - Are they expanding? Possible DTW base soon?

Air Wisconsin - Hiring, but how long will an RJ200 fleet remain profitable?

ASA/Express Jet - Hiring, but what's happening here?

Skywest - Hiring with no union (still) but will ASA and Express Jet work to have them integrated?

American Eagle - Losing pilots to American Airlines attrition...

What else is going on out there to keep a pilot out or in to a specific regional? And going to a Major should just be assumed. And here is the opinionated question.... Where to go for a Michigan based Pilot? Keep it clean and keep it brief folks!
Incorrect. Even after all the Saabs are parked, we are still hiring. Displacements are a fence thing, not overall.

Also I don't think Eagle has lost much to American yet. I don't throw any eggs in a basket that doesn't exist yet.
