Eagle and Republic are both good carriers. Eagle definitely offers stability, great training facilities, wide variety of equipment and base choices. But the upgrades are long (6yrs approx) and have historically been so. Eagle is currently in negotiations to extend or improve their flowthrough agreement with AA. The chances are slim, but if this happens then there could be some hope of career advancement opportunity with Eagle.

Currently I would recommend Eagle to anyone who wants to live in one of our bases, and is financially prepared to sit in the right seat as an FO for 6+yrs. If you are not concerned with upgrades or making a decent paycheck then AE is a good place to come and take a gamble with the flowthrough. If your career aspirations are to be an RJ CA for life then this isnt a bad place to do that as well.

I am by no means bad-mouthing AE. I work here and enjoy it, but I do wish to educate those who are considering applying here. It is a big decision to make, so be sure to learn all you can about any carrier before you start as a newhire.
