Eagle to hire over 1000 pilots by 2012
This just in from my buds at American Eagle. Eagle and their union have reached an agreement to move their most senior pilots to AA to allow cheaper pilots and more new hires to cut costs.
Expect at least a 1000 new hires at Eagle over the next two years. It may be another 8 to 12 months before most of the top pilots are moved over to AA, but be patient. The jobs are coming for those who want to go to Eagle.
