But make sure you do your homework on what bases have what equipment because you will be seatlocked in the ATR for 1 year and until upgrade in the jets (unless company deems your needed elsewhere).
Some guys who haven't finished IOE yet got LA on the last vacancy bid. Even LA is possible to hold after a couple of months.

Ok, I was just looking at the preliminary award for the bid that closed on 4/28. The vacancy bid showed 9 MCE vacancies but on the preliminary it shows 18 MCE awards. I can't find 9 Backfills. Not that I'm complaining about extra captain vacancies, but what happened?

Disregard I just found the 9 people who left, hence the 9 extra backfills. Sorry

heard from one of the instructors at the school house Eagle only has about 100 applications on file. Find this hard to believe but who knows. Might start having trouble filling classes.

I'd go back if they gave me my old seniority number. Maybe I should call and ask.

I don't know what's going on there, but it sounds like your source may be on to something.

Eagle emailed me last year (after maybe 4 years of having them targeted) and asked me to fill out their addendum. I didn't. They called me a few days later anyway, and I politely declined. I emailed airlineapps and asked them to remove some previously targeted airlines (Eagle included) which they did. I still get an email last week from Eagle asking me to update my addendum.

That's kinda weird

Has anyone heard any truth to the rumor that the divestiture is not going to happen now? I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but have heard it a couple times now....
