Eagle is now letting you choose your base before going to class. No more random San Juan assignments if you don't want it. Upgrade is still long, but now that AA is recalling, upgrade time should get better. The shorter upgrades will still be extremely long compared to your other choices, but I personally like the experience level that we have in the cockpit. So far, I have enjoyed working here at Eagle and I think it's a great company despite what some people say about it.
Hope this helps.
