Xjt def over eagle. Way better contract and whoever said it is stagnant here? I've moved up 100 slots this year and I'm CRJ, let alone even more on ERJ and continuous hiring behind, this with majors just only starting to ramp up now.
Sure, I moved 100 numbers las month at eagle. 700 numbers up since I got hired in 2010.
Everything is relative, Eagle will keep losing CAs indefinitely to AA. Also add the ones that goes to other places. We are losing about 50 pilots a month or more.
Not because it have the "better contract" now it means it will have it tomorrow. We signed a 8 year contract, Xjet is in negotiations and wait soon to get whipsaw it with Skywest and other places.
There's no better regional. All of them are crappy, everything depends where he is willing to live and which one gives them the best options for him.
