Just one thought about Eagle - I just met a six year FO in the SAAB the other day - no upgrade in sight. He had 4000 hours SIC time. I just finished flying in December with a FO who is currently upgrading to captain at here at Colgan. He was hired just last Jan 2005. One year to upgrade. He will have his 1000 hours PIC in another 18 months and will be interviewing at the next airline in two years. If you go to Eagle you might get lucky and in nine years you might get to do your IOE with him at the next airline...where he will be a captain. Think about it.
