Yeah, with tons of 50 seaters, and no ability to get larger planes, and the average senority range to hold CA, and the pay associated with it, I don't see a warm and fuzzy future. I think that is the next hurdle before even worrying about upgrades.

I dont know about the 145's, but i think the 82 airframes of 135's and 140's have their days numbered.:( Hopefully the 244 that are supposed to go to AA get there soon!!!

before this thread gets to 2k + posts - has anybody noticed that the thread title is an oxymoron?

No, hadn't noticed. :rolleyes:

Moving on.

Thanks for the update Big Ben

tough crowd

No, the silence is us staring at our computer realizing you are right! ;)

are you suggesting the QOL is better at other regionals? If so which ones? (honest question not trying to be a d!ck)

Unlimited thanks to the former TWA and AA dudes I flew with that encouraged me to bail when I did. I really liked Eagle, the crews, the equipment and the bases... But Holy Cow 7 years was a long time to wait for the end of a contract and the unknown abyssal of negotiation. Not sure life is greener at any regional, however very grateful for the quality training that Eagle provided. I was never forced to fly a POS and never once saw a crews judgement questioned.

For those of you that have spent time on reserve at Eagle, I was wondering about the two hour call out.

How often do you get the call with only two hours to show? Do you more often know ahead of time that a call might be coming your way, or will scheduling sometime call you for a trip well in advance of the actual trip time (i.e. greater then two hours)?
