I just saw the tittle on your post about stop asking if the class was cancelled. For the last few months, you had been asking allot of questions that were answered by those of us at Eagle, yea at times we gave you a hard time because you asked questions that had been answer previously but required you to do research. People outside of the school house didn't know if class was going to happen, you were one of the ones invited to the class and a few days ago you weren't sure if it was going to happen. So now you feel what is like to have the same question asked over and over, just this time none of us knew the answer until you showed up today and was greeted by the AE staff!!! Welcome aboard and hopefully you are here to stay!

So we did start a class today, that's a good sign. No ATRs that's interesting since there is a rumor (just like most of the information floating around) that Eagle will furlough out of seniority and just flush the ATR guys out. Most of the Small ERJs are in NY, interesting that we have a class starting today with 20 guys heading in that direction.

My understudying is that it has been done in the past and the company can make an argument to the court on how much cost it would have to absorb to retrain the crews on the new equipment. One things is for certain, we are having allot of issues with the ATRs in DFW, we are canceling a large number of flight and often running out of equipment. Last week the broken ATRs were the only ones that didn't need inspection overnight so the ones that were airworthy had to fly to the overnights not spend the night but just return empty back to DFW because of the inspections due. Last night at one point over half the fleet was broken, and then add the weather we are hint on top of that and the operations is a mess!

There is a time and a place for things. There are certain individuals who come here and all they do is spread doom and gloom. I understand what an online forum is mainly about, but sometimes it's best to act like adults.

Goodbye upgrades, getting a half decent QOL. Hello to being on reserve/sitting right seat forever, as gobs of Mesaba/Colgan prop guys jump in ahead of us on the 200. I know this will get flamed mericilessly.

I don't think that ATR guys should worry that much, specially the ones who are flexible enough to move to another country. There are ATR operators all over the globe who are hurting & desperately seeking ATR pilots, both Captains & FO's, with with even as little as 300 to 500 hrs on ATR, not PIC time, just time on type.....
Those arilines are all over, Indonesia, India, Vietnam just to name a few.
If you are ATR72 TRE/TRI or even a senior line CA, you are golden...
