Default Eagle Questions

Been all through the forums and EagleLounge as well.

Considering a return to flying and looking for some current "best guess or better" info on Eagle. I know it's been a long road for a lot of you and that there are some current hot topics. But, any info would be helpful. Thanks

1. Projected upgrade years?

2. QOL reserve living in base?

3. Interview/Class and size rate presently?

Upgrade time is a complete unknown and could change with our upcoming contract issues. Right now it's maybe 6-7 years.
QOL in base is great. I've been here 3 years. Some months I bid reserve, sometimes I get a line. Staffing shuffles between bases.
Typical sizes seem to be less than 10 and run every 2 weeks.
We may or may not have a lot of changes coming. I would only consider coming here if you live in a current Eagle base and not Chicago. Lots of talk of Chicago going away and it has been slowly shrinking.
Actually I wouldn't consider coming here until you see what plays out with current mess.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. Hope things shake out for you guys and gals soon.

As to the flying, not a lot of airline choices in DFW these days. But, sounds like I need to wait.....thanks again for the advice.

Pretty spot on. Things are getting messy here
