For those of you who have left Eagle:

Where did you go?

SkyWest

Do you regret leaving?

Not one bit of regret, best decision I did for myself.

What made you leave?

Uncertain future and lack of west coast presence. Also I did not like the culture of AMR.

How was your transition to your new work environment?

Very easy and everyone has been very welcoming.

What are some of the good things you took from here?

Learned a lot from good Captains, learned what not to do from the bad ones. Also being based in ORD is a rude awakening as a first domicile base for a new hire. If you can handle ORD, you can handle pretty much anything out there.

Were there any bad things that caused you to leave?

Company culture, lots of grumpy old Captains that made work miserable, the constant displacements of pilots so you never knew what next month was going to bring, ancient computer software (Sabre).

What does your new job offer you that Eagle couldn't?

A domicile closest to home, dominate west coast presence and while not perfect, a strong management team that seems to know what their doing.

How are you doing now?

It was a gamble giving up seniority, but it's the best decision I've ever made career wise, based at home now and currently in a comfortable place until I can hopefully move on to a major.
