So with the increase in Hiring for 300 Pilots next year, The Jetblue/AA Codesharing and the talk of divesture of Eagle in addition to the SJU downsizing, can anyone tell me what the future forecast is for Eagle. I've been in the airline game long enough to know its mostly gray skies and turbulent. (please just the facts leave the emotions on the pillow). Just want to know how those out there in the trenches see it!

old fleet, old pilots, old news. drastic changes to get it in line with other feed. then other feed brought in to whipsaw eagle. that about sums it up. all atr's gone in less than 4 yrs. Only 80+ embs that are 50 seats, the rest have less - probably going to the desert sooner than later. will have 47 CRJ's assuming deliveries continue - these are marginal with fuel at $95 a barrel - good times!
37 were 135, and a slightly larger number were 140's.... perhaps the 80 number you were thinking of... but the vast majority were 145's as I recall.

Talk to A.O. in the recruitment dept. Hiring to continue indefinitely. Started at 750 apps now they are down to only 400. With no end in sight for hiring that spells shortage coming up this time next year. Look for positive changes with AA and AE in the future.
