We also enjoy not having to fly with Captains who paid for their training to an Eastern Scab.
A ton of lakes and silver captains are now FOs at Eagle, because they wanted a better QOL. You need a get some humble pie man, because your out of touch with reality. Oh BTW what happens to you low time guys if you do not have 1500 hours by next AUG?????
Not trying to defend that guy but I have flown as a regional FO on a jet went to GIA as a street CA and then left for anther almost street CA job and the reason I left was not because I did not have an autopilot or cant do flying over 2 hours. I did not pay for training either. I left for better opportunities and eagle was the last place I would have gone.
My sim partner at my current airline left eagle after 6+ years as an FO.
I don't care what I fly as long as it pays good money and it improves my career. It is all luck. Back in 2004 I would have loved to go to eagle.
