As one of the junior eagle pilots I am saddened by all the name calling and insults being thrown around in this forum. Its realy sad to see that we as pilots can be devided over such small issues. No wunder the industry is the way it is.

I hope that APA can negotiate a fair and respectable contract but the fact remains that the RJ cat is out of the bag. The only thing left for APA to do is accept reality and get the best deal they can for themselves in todays world. Gone are the days of make 250,000 a year and working 12 days a month. I'm sure it was nice while it lasted. I for one just love getting paid to fly. Yes I want to make more money doing it but I can live within my means and have a darn fine life at Eagle, if it comes to that. There are worse jobs and positions to be in.

This job is a privilage and an honor at any level, I think its time people start remembering that. and move forward with the reality of TODAYS aviation industry not the PAST.
