From what I've heard from my buddies that work there, the contract is pretty good, so that's a plus. But if you're goal is to one day get to a major airline, I'm really not sure why you would want to sit through 6-8 years as a FO. Just my 2 cents. From what I've heard Eagle is a good company, just really rough on the reserve and upgrade times.
Not everyone needs captain PIC to move on to greener pastures. Many just need some jet experience and more total time. That's when Eagle comes in handy. The majors aren't the only direction forward.
