Unhappy To all you AA SCOPE guys towards EAGLE

Over the past 15+ years at Eagle all I have been hearing is SCOPE towards Eagle and it was a strike issue and so on and so on....Agreed I want to move up but you dropped the ball on letting JetBlue take most of the NE from us and now your SCOPE just got shuved up your APA ars....instead of keeping it in house...now an outside company ie..SkyWest is feeding you with 90 seat aircraft not in a codeshare like JB and you can't do anything about it.

At Eagle we train in the same place as AA and get paid by the same company in the long run.......we are not the enemy but then you have had it that way for so long....by the way we fly airplane just like you. And your pilots have flown them....good luck with your new contract....

And no its not EAGLE's fault.....

LUV YOU

Eagle isnt the enemy, or viewed as the enemy, they are just the bastard child that will never be allowed to sit at the grown ups table. If you have been there 15 years then you have seen it first hand. Has AMR/AA ever given two poops about the livelyhood of Eagle employees? Why start now?

Speaking of scope, why did the Eagle pilots let a committee chair (not even MEC Chair) waive the operative provisions of Eagle scope?

Seems like that's the real issue with SkyWest taking "Eagle's flying."

I was talking to a 15+ year Comair pilot and he was ****ed he didn't try harder to get a job at mainline. He was hoping for a seniority integration with Delta sooner or later that would put him about halfway up their list. A memorable quote, "********** Value Jet planes taking OUR flying."

I don't care who you are though, you have to feel bad for the guy. I'm sure he could give you some advice.

Sorry guys, but Bucking Bar has it right. Eagle will cease to exist with the likes of Republic, Skywest and others underbidding on flying the flying for AA.

Only time will tell.

In response to previous

I don't blame Skywest or their pilots.......if you are APA and want to control it look outside the box....Eagle APLA hasn't a pot to sit on during CH.11

AE didn't get outbid for flying. AE has never BID for flying for AA. AE was (up until now) the primary feeder for AA by default, simply because it's an in-house company.

AA, in its stated goal of diversifying its feed, has begun awarding contracts to OUTSIDE companies. Right now, AE is simply not allowed to "bid" for flying because it already has too much of it in AMR's view.

Once the company formerly known as AE has been spun off, divested, whatever one wants to call it, they will begin bidding in earnest for contracts - very likely to ALL of the mainline carriers. I expect they will be as successful as the others, Skywest included.
