i really can't foresee eagle furloughing in the future here. i mean just sitting reserve i'll see days when we have too many guys on and no one flies but there are times when everyone gets used and there are like 2 guys left. i know that in klga they tend to get down to like 2-3 FOs on an average basis and i think that the reserve for the captains is similar from what one told me. its still hard to get days off because of staffing shortages. i think right now we have enough and can't really say when eagle will hire again.

I don't mean to sound like *****y little girl here ... but why are you so eager to work to Eagle? Unless you live in one of their base cities and just want to be close to your family, that's one thing. But they have, notoriously, the longest upgrade time in the industry, as well as one of the longest reserve times. From what I've heard from my buddies that work there, the contract is pretty good, so that's a plus. But if you're goal is to one day get to a major airline, I'm really not sure why you would want to sit through 6-8 years as a FO. Just my 2 cents. From what I've heard Eagle is a good company, just really rough on the reserve and upgrade times.

What I love is the presumption that someone would even buy Eagle. Because this industry is so healthy.....AA won't sell because no one in their right mind would touch that train wreck....

Not everyone needs captain PIC to move on to greener pastures. Many just need some jet experience and more total time. That's when Eagle comes in handy. The majors aren't the only direction forward.

For all the complaining eagle guys are doing about getting their planes back, getting the planes on property really hurts their job security
