I don't think they are going to put the flying up for bid. I think in 3-5 years the flying is just going to go away. The 50 seat RJs are beginning to time out and nobody is making a 50 seater. So my guess is you are going to see 2 for 1. Parking 2/3 RJs and replacing then with 1/2 bigger RJs or 1/2 mainline planes.

I think regional flying as a whole is going to shrink 20%-30%. Eagle will fall in line with every other regional and shrink by the same amount.

guys and gals come on, stop the doom gloom, and stop with the comair/xjet crying. Lets remember Mesaba and Compass also just got spun off. I think we are more inline with Compass then any other one out there. Comair would be better off if they actually got spun off!
With so many people going to AA, I think people will be happy to be at Eagle right now IF THIS IS A STEPPING STONE. I think we will have a lower upgrade over the next few years, its going to take 5 years for AA to really start bidding out the flying, by then this 10 year lag the industry has been in will be gone and people will be getting the jobs they always dreamed of. IMHO.

I agree. But with all the others hiring I would look at options. You don't want to get stuck in an airline decreasing its fleet. Eagle has many guys who are lifers which will bring upgrade time back up. If Eagle gives you the best QQL I say go for it. If your chasing upgrade go somewhere else. Its a crap shoot with many variables.
