At the moment Eagle is the first to invite me. I'll go for the expirence and being it at this point no other ofers or invites. I have had my documents walked in at places like ASA, Mesa. Currently after joing airline apps 2 weeks ago (Eagle called first). Am curious to see what it is like to interview for a regional. If I have an offer from eagle and non others of elsewhere then I'll need to think. If I can get to a place like MESA, Colgan, Commut Air or others with about 2 or less years to upgrade even in a Turbo - prop may be adventageous to me!
Currently I have 1210 TT
120 MEL
And working on becoming an MEI

If you worry about all the what if scenarios you would probably want to leave the entire industry...which he did. I am now working for my 5th airline. There are good and bad in all companies. Weigh the good with the bad and make the decision which is right for you.

Looks like you might be coming up on upgrade, hope you don't get bumped and enjoy being a juinor reserve saab captain IF you get the upgrade (if you haven't already) Hey, at least you will be getting that PIC. If you do are you planning on leaving that hell hole? Or are you a true lifer?
Good luck!

Sure directbears, he definitely needs to hear both sides of the story. I came to Eagle as a means to an end, which has happened, so now I am trying to figure out what next. I too am considering exiting the industry vs. staying at Eagle as a long term FO, because perpetual reserve here is bad for the psyche. I geniunely feel some embarassment at being in this position with so much experience and potential that I seem to be squandering. But....the fact is that nothing else has yet been offered that meets my very picky criteria, so for now I try to make it week to week without beating my head against the wall.

they increased their first year pay a few lousy bucks because they needed to attract more people because most people realize that the upgrade is so long that noone will go there. in the long run their all about the same within a few bucks here and there of each other
sadly it will probably work
