Let me start off by saying please don't read some people's post's about eagle here on the lounge. There are some very disgruntled folks about eagle and it is not the airline's fault. They control their own destiny.

I was in SJU for 5 months and had a blast the whole time I was there... except for the commute. The class I was in was 3 ATR anyway.... I transfered out to MIA, and the flying was still great and a little easier on my commute. Lately there have been alot of FO's getting BOS but most cant afford to live there so they transfer out to ORD or DFW. The summer time usually has more erj classes sometimes all jet class. If you are in at least 25 or older you should be able to get an erj slot. While you are in training here at eagle you can bid whatever base you want. And there is a good possibility that if you dont get BOS on week one by the time you finish IOE you could very likely be based in boston. As far as rsv in boston the new hires in my erj class sat reserve for a month or two. Some allready have composite lines (hard line with 3-4days rsv for the month)

Also a little food for thought about upgrade times right now. Many are holding out for ERJ CA positions, therefore leaving junior positions on the SAAB. Another little tid bit that no one realizes is that we furghloughed after 9/11. So after 9/11 the airline didnt hire again until early 04' so we have no 02-03 hires at eagle.

I've been here since march 05' and I'm based at home now with 15 days off a month. And I sat a total of 4 months rsv while in SJU and MIA. Good luck!
