Don't know about you but my dream wasn't to fly at a regional for 10 years.
80kts in every thread you pop in spouting your success story. I don't know how useful it is for the guy who won the lottery to tell everyone else to buy lottery tickets. Just because you hit the jackpot doesn't mean the majority of us will. I'm happy for your success, I really am. I just wish I didn't have to hear about it every day.
I do agree though, Eagle is not a great place to work. When I was applying to regionals only 2 had a LAX base and I applied to both. I was hired at Eagle first and Skywest called during ground school. I made a decision to stay at Eagle, was it a bad decision? In retrospect absolutely. If only we could change the past, of course then I wouldn't be a pilot at all.
You will likely rethink that position within the next few months and realize you made the best blind decision of your life and didn't even know it....
IF
The rumors I'm hearing from our union guys and from management friends are proven correct. You'll have career progression at Eagle that you'll never get elsewhere until other legacies copy AA.
