I know everyone will call BS on this one..... But it was very surprising to hear from this Particular employee...
Take it for what its worth....
1. yes they indeed stopped hiring FA's. In fact they are offering LOA's for the month of April.
2. Not painting all emb's.
3. No fleet plan, no plan whatsoever, not even a new name.
A good friend of mine works in FA recruitment for Eagle. They are still doing interviews on a regular basis. THat pretty much shoots a hole in everything this person is saying.
