Thats true. I just dont understand how so many people bonk the tech part, or even the Sim for that matter. I feel the same with paper work, I mean its posted on here 10,000 times what you need and what not to do, yet people are going home in the first 10 minutes every day. Makes me go :confused::confused:

I'm sure this has already been discussed in this massive thread, but could someone tell me briefly how flight benefits work at Eagle? I have heard you have to pay for them.

Yes you pay a small amount but best regional benefits I know of. You are treated as an AMR employee, and they do it based on order of check in not date of hire. So if you check in 1 second before an AA 35 years 777 captain, you get on the plane first. This is for non rev travel, not jumpseating. Even if we are spun off, we keep these benefits for 5 more years. This is for employee/wife/kids/parents, which is known at AA/AE as D2.

Almost every other mainline airline, non rev seat assignment is based on date of hire. and THEN the regionals that fly for them get on after all their employees. BUT if it is a flight operated by their airlines for the mainline airline sometimes we they get on first.

Now, back to AA/AE, yes for the first 5 years, you have to pay like $15 per 1000 miles one way for coach, and twice for First domestically, International is a bit more due to taxes. First everyone pays even after 5 years.

deleted....I dont want to be the one to post this, go on either of the other main forums like this and see the republic rumor, someone else can troll and post it, I changed my mind.

Was the split off of Eagle AMR's plan to prepackage there bankruptcy, or a last ditch effort to decrease negative assets on the book?

Chicago to MIA is about $23.

ya 1200 miles, I was trying to keep it basic, its ABOUT $15 one way for coach per 1000 miles, give or take $5.

Not sure if you were just noting or were correcting me :p

So do you pay per $1000 miles for international travel as well? How much is an upgrade to 1st?

First is usually about twice as much as coach. All are space available of course.

After 5 years with the company your wife, kids, and yourself no longer pay for travel benefits.
