Killer51883. I also don't know how it turned into a racial post. I asked to get back on topic a couple of posts above and instead talk about what flying with Eagle out of SJU was as well as the layovers. I've tried to be as humane and realistic while describing "my own" experience while being there.

Again I will direct anyone to read any of my long posts on this thread to get "my" personal experience while I flew down there from 1995-2004. Again I'll be honest with you, I'm already going on 3+years while flying the majors and can tell you that I miss it a lot !!! But it is a closed chapter in my logbook and now I get to fly a Boeing all over the country experiencing flow controls, ground stops, de-ice, holding, CAT 3 apps and all the "fun" I never got while in the good ole Caribbean. From drinking a tropical drink in a great Caribbean Island watching the waterbreak I went to "run like hell" to the hotel van before your eyes freeze !!!! LOL But you know what, it is all relative as I now enjoy the feeling of flying in this kind of system and the pride it brings everytime you complete a flight which has also tested your abilities under such conditions. Anyway, back to topic. Killer51883 I congratulate you on making the decision to go where your interests take you and to stand your ground and clear misunderstandings on this thread.

Again anyone with questions on Eagle out of San Juan please read my other posts on this thread or shoot me a P.M. And remember, Eagle is so short right now that they are offering you the chance to pick your base before they employ you !!!!! At least that is what my "contacts" are telling me.

Boy and by the way you guys are lucky, in the mid-90's Eagle was incredibly stuck up in their hiring, Jeeesh I got on with 2600 total and 2300 of those multi and It was still a pain the arse....isn't the law of supply and demmand amazing ??

All the best, flytank.
