I'll tell him " I made the decision to come to eagle a decade ago" and "I'm older now, things are different" as this is the bull*&%$ line I have to hear from these guys who have been in the left seat for 10 years making 6 figures. Boo f'n hoo, just flow already and send me a postcard.

You still chose to come here.
-This agreement had no contractual requirement for AE pilots to go to AA.
You still chose to come here.
-The company even said they wouldn't force these pilots to flow to AA many years ago.
You still chose to come here.
Had you planned properly and done a little research in your choice of regional, you'd have learned that your mailbox would likely remain empty.
