I have 2500TT, 1300ME. But I will be busy for another month, so you'll be interviewed before me! Let me know how it goes!

Wow, Rick, why the quick jump? I heard (you know anytime a sentence starts with that....) that that was a career airline. Guess not! Why did YOU jump?

Where are there bases? Is there a training contract? Seat lock?
Thanks!
2500 & 1300 ??? You should be looking at Skywest or Horizon, or ASA on the east coast.

Eagle has fairly low pay, and a VERY long upgrade time because so many captains stay in hopes of flowing up to AA mainline. Actually right now eagle seniority has been impacted by furloghed AA guys flowing BACK into eagle and pushing everybody down.

The one good thing, for me at least, was west coast bases

I found their corporate atmosphere to be very wierd and bitter. And the mainline guys ABSOLUTELY DESPISE eagle. If you have no other option, do it but plan on moving along soon. You phone will ring off the hook once you complete 121 training and get a few turbine hours.

I didn't jump, I got a job offer elsewhere before I started at eagle.
