MIA never changes does it? Start up, go bust, find new suckers, repaint the airplanes, start up, go bust.....You would think at some point the FAA and airport authority would fumigate the place with roach killer.

2nd airplane end of June..., did it happen?

Yes, the second airplane is already on property. Third and fourth airplanein August "(one at the beginning and one at the end of August)" .

4 planes....not to bad. Do they have business for them besides low yield Cuba charters?

Now with the second airplane on property, Eastern picked up some more flying to the Caribbean, and some rumors of South America flying, but nothing concrete. I'm in training with them. And I can say that thing are good, more airplanes and more hiring. They want to have five airplane by December. So far looking good. Very happy to be here, good pay. Time will tell.

What a Joke!
 

What a joke! As a former rEAL Pilot, it amazes me that so many people here believe this is somehow a resurrection of the former Eastern Air Lines. I was a twenty-four-year-old Eastern flight engineer on the B-727 and A-300 back in 1989. On March 4th, 1989, the IAM called a strike against Eastern Air Lines, and the (honorable) ALPA pilots of Eastern joined in a sympathy strike alongside our fellow union members of the IAM. To somehow suggest that the "new" Eastern is in anyway reminiscent of Captain Eddie's Airline, is a gross misunderstanding of the legacy of the "real" Eastern Air Lines and it's former employees! Although the logo is a familiar site, the real Eastern Air Lines died when it ceased operations on January 18, 1991. Although I have worn the United Air Lines uniform for almost eighteen years, I will always be proud to call myself an Eastern Air Lines Pilot. Walter J. Brill, Jr.

What is FO pay at EAL? I can't find anything posted on web about pay.

That's because it's so low it can't be posted. You know, like when a TV is on sale for such a low price online you have put it in your basket to see it?

Kinda like that.

If it's any lower than what I make right now, it would be a write off on taxes and I might come out ahead!!!
