Who cares. We could have the exact same contract as Swywest and our upgrade would still be 8 years. Eagle needs alternative solutions. Managment needs to think outside the box and thats why I feel the merger could be a possibilty. Am I convinced it will? No. Am I hopeful? Yes, I have invested 6 years of my life here and this would give me a reason to stay. I and several other Eagle pilots have emailed managment with our frustrations. All of the emails have discussed a merger or a flow through that actually works. Our email campaign has just begun and its picking up steam. I am hopeful that Eagle managment will hear the message loud and clear and start thinking outside of the box. All of your solutions are a band aid to a gushing wound.
