You obviously haven't heard about the flow up number. Why any pilot wouldn't go to Eagle for that reason alone is beyond me. Eagle is a great place to be right now.

Have they improved the training department at Colgan?
Well since its all being run now by Mesaba, I would say so. There's almost no Colganites in the higher ups. Infact, you'll soon Here "Mesaba" rather than Colgan callsigns in the near future. |

Now that AMR is one step closer to BK how attractive do they look now? I would expect 20%-30% capacity cut and all pilots taking a large pay cut. What's interesting is now that Eagle is on it's own I wonder how easy a BK court can trow out the exclusive contract and put lift up for bid. I would expect job security for a new hire nonresistance if BK is to be filed. With Eagle flying equipment thats obsolete I would expect TSA and others to to be winners of AMR lift. Second, last I checked there is no exclusive contract with eagle from AMR. in fact, until and if they are separated they dint even have more than a one page contract... which says they do what AA/AMR says. Third, Obsolete aurcraft according to who? That idiot Boyd?? A wise man once said, nobody ever went broke flying too small am airplane. The same can't be said for too large an airplane. Fourth, AMR's theoretical plan is to transfer the planes to AA along with the majority of the debts by buying them from Eagle.... So, eagle gets a pile if cash and can buy what they want. |

Dude, we have non-rev ability on United/CAL/US Airways, plus whom ever else that has CASS/ID90's/ZED FARES ect. This includes, wives, family members, companions (girlfriend or other) It's not a huge issue.

Breaking off topic, this is what I saw today... JOBS for 737-800
Yeah, that is true...... this is the lowest minimums I have seen so far....... All they need is a valid ICAO Commercial Instrument with 1000 TT & 500 hrs on an aircraft more than 10,000 Kgs (approx 22,000 lbs) MTOW or 19 seats..... Hong Kong Airlines ? Hong Kong to Worldwide Air tickets, Online Special Air fares and Airline Reservation I don't have the times but I am sure someone can benefit from this...... So, If any one is tired of playing "my regional is better ....." there are oppertunities beyond the horizon......... |
