I know we are all bored on reserve but if you're going to make a post about 1000 new hires the least you can do is provide a source.

It's funny how fish stories grow. No, it's not a thousand pilots leaving for AA, but a recent move at Eagle will force more than 500 Eagle captains to leave Eagle for AA. He's right about it creating movement and new hires, but a thousand is over doing it.

I'm wondering what what the 1800 or so AA furloughees think about Eagle "moving" 1000 pilots to mainline.

Is this guy a jet transition course provider's employee by chance? What other incentive could someone have to make such an audacious claim.

Indirectly, this person is inciting very, very false propaganda that could result in some poor schmuck with 250 hours shelling out 3K for a course with no actual prospect for a job anytime soon...for that reason I think this thread should be closed as well...

I find it strange that PilotJobs.com: Regional Airline Pilot Jobs (ATP) hasn't posted anything about Eagle hiring this time around... may have something to do with the 1000 hr requirement????
