As for the contract, the training "point" system does not apply to newbies either.
The LOA is being worked on as we speak, company does not want to offer it as is, they want to make some mods.
As for our future, a lot depends on what happens with AA.
They are gonna stay fat with pilots until they know our fleet plan and them there may or may not be furloughs, will just depend on the fleet and the schedule of replacements, etc.
I think it's a given the ATR's are all going away, but the timeframe is unknown. We still have scope issues to work out before that can be handed off to another carrier to assume
Anyone going into their proby ride needs to know that the point system doesn't apply. I know of two pilots who never had any problems get let go after busting their orals. They never even touched the sim. Eagle is overstaffed and they are finding ways to get rid of pilots before a furlough. Furloughs cost $$$$ so make sure you study and be on your A game.
