Honestly this worthless career is the only bad part of my life, since that's all this forum is about it probably seems like I'm a lot more unhappy than I really am.
with that said, just stay at Eagle and become super senior at Eagle. You can (in theory) then have control over your days and time off and do what you want. Remember, you are not in it for the money, altho I am sure senior Eagle Capt is what ?? 125K ?? Can't shake a stick at that, when most of America is worried about health care and doesn't earn more than 75K.
With half the 1500 being flow-thrus to AA, and the UAL/SWA/DAL hiring that is underway or planned, Eagle should have some upward movement for the guy who looks at the chess board and says "I am dropping anchor here".
my comments regarding Eagle are admittedly thru the lens of the Legacy Eagle view, what animal Eagle turns into in 5 years is anyones guess.
