There is no flowthrough agreement, and won't be.
I'd look to Compass, Messaba or any of the other wholly owned companies that have reasonable upgrade times. Sure, use Eagle as interview practice for the job you really want.... but don't waste 2,3,4 or more years of your career at an airline you will not upgrade at. The QOL is better at Eagle than most, but is still deplorable...
I DO NOT understand you. I mean, is any company worthy to have you as an employee. You bash Mesa for having terrible work rules then you turn around and bash Eagle because they have desirable work rules but the upgrade is long. Maybe ppl won't leave there b/c they actually enjoy what they do and who they do it for. If I'm correct, you work at Eagle. But either way, you shouldn't maintain this double standard. There are plenty of reasons to come to a company like Eagle or any other regional with decent work rules. Why is there anything wrong with wanting to fly a 37/50/70 seat jet for a career. I mean that's not my calling or my desire, but who's to blame the guy who has always wanted to do just that. Sounds like you will never be content wherever you are, so try not to rub that attitude off on those of us who still enjoy the job!!!
