My guess is, because life sucks on the NA side of the house.

Because it's going to be summer soon? Because the french were drinking the bad wine when they designed it? Because it's the hardest ground school we have and nobody on probation would want to take it over emb or crj? I could go on and on.

Family issues. I am going to
have to commute, so if I could commute to NYC or ORD, it would be easier than say, SJU or MIA. Hoping for NYC but will take what I get.

ITs a very capable aircraft and has a lot more room than the ERJ and or CRJ however we all have our favorites. Also there are three to six slots on the ATR projected for the Mar 29 class so just because your in that class doesn't exclude you. The other three slots are DFW emj I believe.

Why don't you (someone who doesn't work at Eagle) tell me (someone who works at Eagle) why the NA side doesn't suck.

Because here a few reasons why QOL sucks on the NA side.

They are short on planes(A lot of MELs), short on staff.
No MX at outstations(nothing like waiting 4-6 hours to fly MX out for a 5 min fix).
9 hours is a long overnight.
12 hours is a short duty day.

Preaching to the choir bro / sis I don't know your background but you’re definitely preaching to the choir. Try CDO's all the time with min rest and little time off. At least you have gauruntee off days! Oh and you don't know who I know at Eagle nor if I have or do work at Eagle so before you pass judgment...

Speaking of which if life on the NA side is so horrible why didn't you bid for the jet?

When I took recall it was the ATR or no job(I had no clue how bad it was on the NA side), I am now waiting for my class date to go back to the jet. Great pilots and FAs, But the system is broke.
