so i have heard horror stories...how bad is it? what's it like?

I was in Dallas last week and was told the folowing by someone about as high as you can go... Summer bookings are pathetic, March bookings are non-existent, hiring was stopped about a year ago and attrition has not been close to what was expected. Hiring that was planned for attrition will likely not resume until first quarter 2010.

I have no ties to eagle other than a good friend that works there but I do live in NH and couldnt even begin to guess how I would commute to PR.

And I thought EWR was bad (same as you as the JFK commute is identical)

I wonder if he is going to PR as well. He was BOS displaced as EM FO to JFK and he was hired around Nov of 07'

Boat? :cool:

i was talking to a beech captain at colgan and he said they might hire in the spring? any truth to this?

Dude, PR isn't that bad. Are you married? Kids?

Sounds like you didn't have your displacement preferences in order. Im sure you can get back in the next vacancy bid. Good luck.

i made sure the displacement preference was in order about two weeks ago...i had LGA JFK ORD DFW, all EMJ FO then CRJ FO. i'm not the only one either, about 11 or 12 other guys are in my boat...

You said you had all EMJ FO then CRJ FO. Did you have DFW ATR FO?

I flew the ATR SJU for 1.5 years before I came to compass. If you really want the scoop you can PM me but I had alot of fun while I was there. Granted I moved there.

I'm also friends with some one who was originally from NH and moved to SJU and now commutes to JFK EMJ CA from SJU.

Also when I was in class, people who were assigned sju as a base put their bid in for MIA and were awarded MIA before they were into IOE. Don't know about now though.
