I'll give you that, but folks point'n the finger at me and many other of us at Eagle for decisions we didn't make. For most of us at Eagle, this is where we had to start to get into the airline industry. There wasn't a mainline carrier that would hire me with 1,200 hrs TT. I spent 13 years turning wrenches on F-15's, so I've had to pay my dues to get to where I am now. Many of us have similar dues paying stories, but for me, this is where I wanted to start because I wanted to work for AA.

I support you guys, but I feel the same is being reciprocated. Now, I just wanna do my time and get away from AMR. I say this job is better than sleeping in a tent in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia, but I'll work 13hr shifts, in 130 degree WX, 6 on/1 off, just so I don't have to hear how "I" took flying away.

Good luck to you AA guys...hold scope!
