I've got my choice between either American Eagle or ExpressJet with the same class date. I'm having a difficult time justifying either choice.

Possibly someone with a bit more industry knowledge or inside information could give some opinions in terms of company stability, number of newhires expected after me, upgrade time, QOL etc?

From what I've heard, It sounds like Eagle may continue to hire 2-300 more pilots this year, and upgrade time has been dropping a lot. However they still have the potential concern for the company divesture i guess? I don't know anyone who works for XJT to give me that side of the picture.
