You see ?
We're not so different after all.....................
I may be wrong but didn't Eagle have a "flow up" agreement with AA long before there was a flow down? I think you also have to look at "Career Expectation" in this thing. Is your desire to one day fly an AA 777 or 757, or, is your desire to keep flying an RJ? If it is the latter, you are doing it. If you want to move up in life and take their seats, do it like we all did. Apply and get hired. If not, when you are forced to take those jobs, at least acknowledge that you do not support management. It's that easy. In our case, RAH crews took our flying without one word on our behalf to their management. They couldn't look us in the eyes and when deadheading, they would slink down in the back like we didn't know they were there. Again, I have no idea of the relationship between AA and Eagle and I don't want to know when it all comes down to it. I do know that the Regional crews have got to start taking a stand when it comes to taking over mainline routes.
