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!!!

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)?
