I simply assumed that since you chose to rebut me and pass up all the quality comments by a fellow Eagle pilot, he was your pal and I must be the bad guy, that's all.
You both make me LOL. Only difference is he does not call me a high fiver, and generalize all us Eagle guys.

BK sucks, it sucks for us at Eagle and it sucks for you guys as AA. Hopefully in the end something is worked out that prevents furloughs at both companies. Be happy your in BK under a democratic president, and an arguably improving economy.

I saw BK at UA via my Dad during late HS and while in College. Its awful to go through, its when he grew his bold spot and grey hairs. He was convinced they would going CH7. It was like a recurring nightmare after being at EAL.

At eagle right now we are at least lucky the FAA passed rest rules that will require more pilots. They also passed the 1500 hour rule. Also there seems to be an ongoing hiring binge, and the only new applicants are those who are tainted, or are just coming out of the CFI job pipeline. These applicants are not filling all the regional job openings anymore.

I saw someone post something about the new rest rules require 4000 new pilots, I hope that is true. I also hope that if we get more 70 seat jets at AE, that we can just merge the list, because they will be replacing MD80 flying IMO, and I would hope no one has to furlough, either AA or AE. I do not think any 90 seat jets are coming to Eagle, it seems to me that APA will not back down on them, and I do not think a judge is going to impose that. I have also heard a 'rumor' that if it goes to the judge, that he can not actually impose scope language. I doubt they will put 90 seat jets at AA either, because it cost too much to have all other aspects of that flights operations handled by AA. Its why I do not understand the logic of not merging the two groups, but I am just a kid right?
