So here it the run down on MAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSaba, as the DTW controllers like to call us.
1) Pilot Group exceeding 750. By the time you get hired and in class probably around 900, which means that you will be coming in on the tail end of the hiring, therefore probably not light speed upgrade, you will have a lot of people in front of you now
2) The evil empire (start darth vader theme song) MAIR is still in existance, and could return to slash your paycheck in five years
Now the positives:
3) Snap back with 36 new plans on property
4) Contract negotiations in I believe 2009 (RJ correct me if I am wrong, havent looked at the contract in a while)
5) Positive growth, and a large fleet of pure profit aircraft (Saabs make money, other than that, its about all they do) However if you are going to fly one invest in a hearing aide company, trust me you'll need it
6) Saab so loud, cant hear flight attendant complain about how loud it is
7) No need to spend money on a health club, Saab has a built in sauna, called "any row, any seat"
8) Injured? No need to bring an ice pack to work, just go preflight during Nov. thru Apr.
9) Probably one of the most experienced groups of regional pilots around (newest upgrade 3 years, prior to that 7 years)

I know nothing about eagle other than what I have heard here which is suspect. If you are fortunate enough to MSP or DTW, its an easy commute, flights out of Madison each way.
Good luck.
