Exactly why being a well qualified junior pilot at Eagle may be a curse if you want a job with American mainline!
They already have to take pilots from the top, why would they want to increase the rate of attrition taking non flows also. Hey Vyper, I'm sure you may have some good contacts that are very senior, but unless they are in the senior management or HR, they only think they know what is going to happen. Pilots are wrong most of the time when they tell you what is going to happen to/with an airline, no fault of their own.
I'm not trying to tell you what's going to happen with, I'm just trying to point out some more possibilities.
Also a "shrinking" airline in my experience means NO quality of life improvements for the junior pilots for a loooooong time.
What am I lacking to understand? How about you break down that decade of dismantling for me.
