Eagle has some good things going for it, but the historical upgrade over the last five years makes it a very difficult pill to swallow unless you expect to remain at eagle for life...

In today's environment you could get hired at many other regionals, upgrade, get 2000 PIC, get hired by a major, and be off probation before you could upgrade at eagle. There are 6-year eagle veterans coming to work at SKW (and presumable CHQ and XJET) for this reason.

Also regional FO wages for 5-10 years DOES NOT work for anyone with a family.

As the upgrade time comes down, more folks will be interested.
