Now let's compare it ( Eastern ) to other companies bottom feeders also and by the way you didn't mention them because they do not belong to Miami like Sun country, Frontier, Allegiant Air, and Spirit,( considered major airlines),Eastern Pays more and better benefits, now let's compare it to other bottom feeders charter operators not from Miami, like omni, world, sky king, Xtra.
By the way most pilots at one point or other came to Miami to work or even get a type rating from a bottom feeder training facility.
I am glad that Eastern open up, with better pay among everything else and is providing jobs to people from Miami and others not from miami.
