Default Eagle Vs. Skywest

If anyone cares to comment, working for either company, or knows about working for them your comments would be greatly appreciated. I have interviews with both and have been told they are both top of the list for regionals right now... i.e. equipment, pay, bases, ect... I've heard Eagles upgrade time is lowering but can't find info for Skywest?

"""Now that it has an entree at American, Airbus could also attempt to sell wide-body airplanes to the carrier, the blog suggested, even though American is currently committed to the use of Boeing 777s and 787s for its long-haul international flying.

The deal is expected to be announced Wednesday, when the carrier will also report earnings and announce the sale of American Eagle, the newspaper said."""

Might be some news on Eagle that will influence your decision.

Your upgrade time will not be the same as anyone currently employed for either of the two mention airlines so the correct answer for upgrade is when your number gets called. There are way too many variables to consider in this highly dynamic industry.

Be careful what you wish for because many will get screwed over this deal. People tend to focus on just a few words and not the whole contract.

My friends at CoEx said the transition away from Continental hurt for a while, or at least slowed any progress there
