I love the long sits in Chicago for the sole reason of the Hilton Athletic Club. Been going there for five years now. If one has a three hour or longer sit, it's perfect for a one hour workout, shower, walk to and from, and get back to the gate one hour prior.
Longer sits, longer workouts.....

You hit the nail on the head and broke the head off. Talk about productivity problems.... I don't like flying a 14hr day where 6-8 of it is spent sitting in ORD... Sounds like poor planning and use of manpower.... Not saying I want the job, but there has to be a more efficient way to plan for us.

I jump-seated home with an ERJ ORD FO last night and he indicated that hiring should start up again based on the "700 pilots per year projection" with the 500/25. Anyone else heard this rumor or think it will occur?

Yeah, at other carriers picking up Eagle's flying. People who talk like that are drowning themselves in the kool-aid. Eagle's going to have to take pay cuts, which you shouldn't, to keep or gain any flying. Right now with the cost structure Eagle can't compete, which means more layoffs to come. It's always good to keep high hopes but the airline industry likes to crush them.

Either way you're about to be displaced out of Miami ATR so stop worrying about it.

The captain should have requested an immediate drug test for him. He was obviously hallucinating wildly.

eaglefly, im glad you went to American, your grasp on reality is better fit there, you should get involved more with the APA too. If you were still at Eagle and on the MEC, you surly would have sealed us a comair fate.
