You're missing the point. The return on investment is done after year two. You've paid for yourself and made them money. After that, it is cheaper to pay a new hire to do your job. They don't really care if your 250 hours, or 1700 hours. Their concern is that you pass training, and hopefully will leave in a few years. That being the case, they are better off with people who have 1,000 plus hours when hired, since those are the ones that will be marketable to other places in a few years.... they also have already demonstrated the ability to pass a 121 training program. They are a much better risk.

What's this.... if we can't keep em.... we'll just break em???

Why is eagle so preoccupied with hiring people that can pass a training event? Sure every airline has this in mind but eagle is so obvious about it, not sure how much harder you can make an ERJ training when everything is either auto or off.
