Pretty much nailed it!

if the bank guy deal falls through, I still find it shocking AE wont let you come back as a new hire.

Yeah pretty soon it will be a 10k bonus and 2nd year pay to start so you would be coming back with a raise and only sacrificing a small amount of seniority. Better than starting over somewhere else.

They offered me the job back but I would have to start back at the bottom and I decided not to accept . Eagle being short of pilots and getting shorter everyday with a dried up pipeline I would be on the bottom for a very long time. like I said earlier that my decision were mine and I have to live with them.

If they hire 600 this year, and they might pull it off, you would not notice you left. They MAY put out a fleet plan and 170/crj900 announcement here soon to help hiring (just my guess, because its logical, however I am a dot and dont know anything).

If it starts moving it will compound and only help them find people. The world has not completely stopped making pilots, however the supply is drying, so whoever gets the 1500 hour pilots will still be ok.

If you were near the bottom it could be a minor difference overall coming back, esp with the post above mine.

Either way I wish you the best, I feel for you big time. My Mom died of cancer 6 months after I started at Eagle. I was juggling a boat ton in my life, and as everyone on this forum knows, I was LUCKY I got NY out of training and stayed near home, otherwise I most likely would have quit too.

What

So if they do this, and alter the CBA what are they doing for the rest of us here?

Well the truth will hurt even more. They want to pay the flow thurs to flow to AA. Yes the union wants to give cash to them like a grant to supplement the crAApy first year pay at AA. If the company will do this, then they will agree to the bigger bonus and dropping first year pay (temporarily of course).
As for the rest of us, well we get to live with our wonderful contract that 75% of our group voted in.

Obsession is an illness. There IS help available, but the first step is acknowledging your problem and admitting you're no longer in control. Have you considered EAP ?

heard from a pretty high up at ASA/Xjet that they will not run classes until the summer. Interviewing for a pool only. I think this may put an end to the MIA base rumors at least for a while.

Is that a fact or just rumor mill?
