The bottom line is Eagle ALPA reps (especially the core cadre) are raking in huge $$$$. It's a great gig, especially when the pilots you represent don't demand that much from you. That's why those guys have been in their cushy jobs for 5-10 years (or more).................because it IS cushy !!!!

My bet says that aside from the fat expense account and the ability to tailor your schedule to get EXACTLY the days you want or need off, they're averaging about 120 hours pay per month. That's about $144,000/year @ topped out CRJ scale not including the freebies and expenses. It's no wonder they're fighting tooth and nail to keep their positions. If they were delivering for that bloated lifestyle that the PILOTS allow them, that would be one thing. Instead.....................well, you know what you've got. Anyone who supports this fiefdom is either a world-class sucker or part of their 'good 'ole boys club'. Most have been dumbed down to the point they don't care anymore which is why apathy rules and the few prosper wildly at the expense of the majority.

My condolences in advance but there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. As Eagle contracts to allow another to take up some of the flying, the kings will keep their thrones and palaces, but eventually with bulging wallets and bank accounts, they'll move on over to AA at the beginning of the wave and the poor surviving saps at Eagle will wallow in cesspool left behind. A least then, you'll be rid of them though.
