So I have a question about commuting. How feasible would it be to commute from SLC to DFW if I was sitting reserve? Do many pilots at eagle commute that route? Also, I know this is hard to tell but does anyone know how long a new hire in DFW would sit reserve with all this growth? I am hoping for 6 months? lol
Realistically, it would be hard to commute into DFW on the same day if you had a sign-in time before noon. You would probably get stuck commuting in the night before and hanging at a crashpad if you had reserve. Last flight out of DFW-SLC is 9:15pm, which should be a reasonable time to catch a flight home, if there arent a dozen other AA/AE guys fighting for the last seat

6 year upgrade time with the current fleet size, flow thru's, economy and contract.
The upgrade time was 9-10 yrs for awhile there. The only reason we made this jump to 6 yrs was because of the bubble between 01' and 04' without hiring.
We need to consider the future of the 37 seat fleet as well as the 44 seat fleet...and whether there are going to be any new aircraft in the future.
Contract after 2012.
Whether we get sold.
The scope section in the upcoming (someday) AA pilot contract.
I don't want to be a negative nancy but I don't want new hires to think that an upgrade is 6 yrs away.
Realistically, in 2016 will AE still have all the 37/44 seaters? All those 50 seaters? A contract? A demand for almost 3000 pilots?
That is how I think of it.
Congrats to the 04' guys upgrading though. It is good to see the turn around and movement at AE.

Lol yea, the three-letter code is Base/Seat/Equip. I added some info to the original post above, so re-check it. The next 4 digit number is the relative AE seniority number of the most junior CA from the most recent bid award. Last date is their date of hire at Eagle (Most statuses have dropped to a ~6yr upgrade).
