This actually a professional pilot forum...the professional pilot group as a whole is generally against academies because they attempt to place dangerously unqualified pilots into the airline business.

And to make things worse, when they are finished with training and $100K+ in debt, they are so desperate for a job that will gladly roll over for any sort of abuse and undercompensation dished out by management thereby undercutting everyone's opportunity to make a living...that's why management is willing to accept them in the first place...

To answer your question, the academies have been historically unreliable in placing their graduates (MAPD is the exception that I am aware of, but you are then doomed to work at mesa). You are certainly rolling the dice...and if you don't get hired by the target airline, now what? Be advised that eagle has very low minimums for actual pilot experience and ability, but they have an EXTREMELY rigorous background check and medical exam...the medical takes longer than all other aspects of the interview combined! Are you in pristine health? Do you know your blood pressure and cholesteral? Is your vision better than FAA requirements?

Some regionals are currently hiring at a high rate...for the amount of money you are proposing to spend, you could get all of your instructor ratings and reach a 1000 hours fairly quickly. Then you would have options at numerous regionals, not just one or two.

BTW eagle is dead-end for your career (unless you are looking for a regional "career"). Also, based on ASA's current movement into LAX, eagle should be losing some flying soon...perhaps hiring will slow or stop?
