Airline Pilot Central Forums

Eagle will be lucky to be around in the coming years. AMR wants to get rid of eagle. Taking a position at this company is like a road to no-where like most of the regionals. If thats your goal then go for it. The upgrade time is horrible and the pay! i once thought it was a place to be interview there and decided to go elswhere. Is "Nick" the EMB FO still doing the interviews?

If by horrible you mean one of the quickest right now at 5 years then you would be right.

Doom! Gloom! Doom! Gloom! It's the end of the world. I better quit my job and go to truck driving school ...wait high gas prices. Damn maybe I should just push wheel chairs at the airport....people always need to be pushed around.

Your post has as much validity and sense as mine.....

Well I am excited to be interviewing. No one can predict the future of what's going to happen at any airline. Why so many haters and nay-sayers! I think people have to go where they feel is best and do what works for them, no judgement. I'm constantly surprised by the amount of negativity I see on this forum, we're all pilots for crying out loud and if you're lucky enough to be doing what you love then you have found something rare. If "work" is becoming that much of a grind, then its time to move on to the greener pastures.

Hey dude, stay off of APC and keep your BP low haha...seriously. Take everything said here with a grain (or heap) of salt. But as you'll come to see for yourself, this business literally breeds and bitterness heartache, with APC being merely a convenient outlet. Just be aware, and best of luck!

First of all Mr RJ pilot. I turned it down a few years back... and guess what! I would not be where I am at today if I hadn't. If its someones goal to be there BC its what they want in life then go for it. I have lots of friends at regionals, few very few are happy. I am a person who looks for higher standards then just settling for an uncertain regional gig. I would be waisting my time there, and still flying little jungle jets and CRJS. Its sad that people think this is the only way to go about a career in aviation. I have a great 121 gig flying big airplanes, awesome pay, international flying, and have never worked a weekend or a holiday... yep thats right!

Never worked a weekend or holiday ?

I guess you were hired at the top of your seniority list ?

No, I gotta go with the others and believe you to be a disgruntled rejectee.
