I would say company wide, Eagle is short at least 200 pilots per the amount of aircraft as they operate right now. About 100 of shortage are FO's from ORD. So the infamous pilot shortage at Eagle is finally solved.
Lets not even take company retirements into this equation even though we already know Eagle has more old grumpy men than any other regional airline, and they spit out retirements in nearly triple digits each year.
Good luck to you all. We all know one thing, AMR plans ahead, I am sure we'll see a shakeup for the rest of the industry to follow shortly.
RANT OVER.
AMR plans ahead??? AMR has to be the most reactionary airline out there. Definitely not an insightful or innovative company, at least not since Crandall's departure.
And as for retirements, you forget that the new age 65 fiasco means no more forced retirements for another 5 years. Zero.
Good luck to all of you Eagle guys and gals.
