Upgrade at 2000TT... are you kidding me? Eagle hasn't had upgrades for the better part of a decade. There are nine year FO's who recently made Captain, who thanks to the displacement are going back to FO.

If all you want to do is upgrade, go to Mesa, Republic, TSA, GOjets or any of those sweat shops. You can do your part to convincing managements that pilots are a dime a dozen, and do your part to help lower the bar even further.

If you want to work for a company with more stability than most, you go to Eagle, Mesaba, Compass, or Comair... as wholly owned, their parent companies are deeper pockets than any of the fly by night sweat shops.
