Not the highest paid? Try not even close to the highest paid.
Explain how a company that’s been in bankruptcy this decade, has some of the lower paid pilots, back of the line qol issues and has management that you admit hates the pilots is a “top regional”?
I wasn’t even here then so I will assume someone that went through has even better examples.
You’re right about lower pay and some other items. But the bankruptcy was thanks to AMR not necessarily Eagle. Because we were wholly owned by AMR we by default were in bankruptcy, and as in all bankruptcies concessions had to be made. The real blow came after bankruptcy and merger when Parker & Kirby told us “the world changed” and we had to choke down more concessions or go “comair II.”
Other than that time and since, I’d say it is fair to say “stable.” We are and have been backed by AA and with the amount of money they invest here (infrastructure, bonuses, planes) and have since grown since the dark times I think stable is an appropriate term.
