LOL, ya I know a guy who sells the real good stuff ;) things with Eagle will either turn out really good, or really bad. I don't think there will be much middle ground. So, you gotta ask yourself... Do you feel lucky, punk??!!

I'm old enough for any Eastwood flick.

But in all seriousness, from the people that see this trend that may occur, am I just wasting my time? I have a good paying flying job where life is good, but flight time is single engine vfr. Do you think I should stay put? or go to Eagle and hang on to the roller coaster that might happen. I must say, the lure of flying a jet is working, I never thought I would have shiny jet syndrome but I have it now. GA aircraft just aren't doing it for me.

I'm assuming that everybody who makes these post are people with a higher perspective of the 121 world than me, so I'm just asking for a bit of advice, when the final decision has to be made I'll make it.

it can get very good or very bad - the latter if they do not get much needed staffing. plz come.

Comair Shrinkage = Strike against the company and the company will get even

This isn't a likely scenario at Eagle. Eagle is simply a tax shelter people....

AMR doesn't like farming it's work. example in hand- chitaqua landing at an airport with no tsa or services...

"the best of times":
We had a bid with 121 captain vacancies."came out on oct 20"
About 160 more captains should be leaving to AA.
MIA should be opening as a base in FEB.
LAX base should double in size.
Still have 13 more CRJ to be delivered.

"It worst of times"
Eagles gonna get sold
A crap load of 50 and less seat aircraft.

:cool:

In regards to LAX, I was told only 8 or so crews will be added with the 3 additional ERJ's in April. The rest will be ORD CRJ crews flying through, have you heard of anymore expansion beyond that in LAX?

This is from eaglewire oct21:

In all, Eagle will increase to 64 daily round trips from LAX, up from 39 today. By shifting CRJ-700 aircraft that are currently operating in DFW, Eagle will begin serving Houston, Phoenix and Oklahoma City, beginning in April. Boise, El Paso, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, and Tucson will also be added, using ERJs. Eagle will serve Albuquerque using a mix of CRJ and ERJ aircraft -- and all four of our daily departures to Denver will be upgraded to two-class CRJs. This is all exciting news for Eagle and further proof that we play a central role in American's overall network strategy.

To support these changes, we plan to expand Eagle's new LAX remote terminal facility in the coming months to add gates that can accommodate the additional departures.

You are right, it does look like alot of the additional flying will be ORD CRJ crews flying through LAX. But 3 extra planes isnt bad news for the guys at LAX.

Nice, thanks for that. I don't have sabre access anymore since my leave. I am hoping I can hold LAX within the next 6 months. I'm wondering if they will create a CRJ RSV base in LAX? (Just like Skywest has a RSV based in SFO for their United flying). Since there will be Phoenix turns, Denver, etc, if someone would call in sick/time out in LAX that seems like it would throw everything out of sync. Deadheading a crew from ORD or LGA would just take to long to make up the flying and potentially lose revenue. Who would I talk to pitch that idea?? haha

Stick to your current job. it is hard to find a good paying job. You might not even get to fly a shiny jet at Eagle, we are still sending a lot of newhires to the ATR in SJU, MIA, DFW. Im not sure where you live, but be prepared to commute across the country regardless if you come to Eagle.
