I can understand there are many senior FO's who are bitter about being here for soooo long. I would be bitter too if I rode it out at Eagle for 8 years in the right seat. But the fact is that many FO's who do have the internal rec's and a good resume from previous experieneces, are getting good jobs at majors after being here for only a few years, while many others wait and wait for an upgrade. Last I checked it is more important to get that job at a major than just logging TPIC time. Half of the majors are hiring now without the turbine PIC time, as well as NetJets, JetBlue, and Atlas.

Coming into this 8 years ago, Im sure you had no idea it was going to be this long. And you cant proove that the people getting hired right now wont have to wait 4 years for an upgrade, especially with all the change that could happen over the next year. But the fact is, minus the wait for the upgrade, Eagle is still one of the better companies to work at compared to the whole board of regional airlines. And its not fair to say "Eagle sucks, dont work here" because that is not true.

The long upgrade, is not new news. Everyone already knows about it.

Cheers.
