they have 2 ops certs now too, esp if they park the ATR fast, opens up pilots and the exec op cert.

LMAO !!!

You've been at Eagle like what..........six months (if that) ?

Now you're confidently hypothisizing what the future "former" Eagle is going to do with their operation and/or their certificates ?

IIRC, you were hammered on this forum previously for overstepping your Eagle knowledge prior to attending new-hire basic indoc at Eagle by pilots already having significant time on property.

At this tender stage of your career, I think you'd be better off ASKING questions instead of answering them. You're starting to come off looking like the Eagle/Industry expert. As a JFK EMJ F/O (going to MIA), are you setting your captains straight as well where Eagle and the industry are going ?

I know it's an intoxicating time for you wearing a snappy uniform and looking good in the mirror, but perhaps it's best not to let that get to your head too fast. It's just a suggestion, but you may want to observe and absorb your new world and get more of a solid foundation before coming to any certainties and then you can join subpilot who thinks he's got it all figured out.

BTW, the "shortage" your waiting for that has been predicted to come "any day now", has been predicted for decades. Yes, ebb and flow, up and down, but the true major retirement schedule that really impact the majors will not really get going until the end of this decade.

I was just throwing ideas around on the internet, sorry if it set you off. I dont actually think thats even going to happen, I dont think anyone does. Its a web forum of speculation, I was just speculating off what the guy before said. I will try and tread more lightly and listen more.

I dont come on here to make anyone mad, I just come on here to speculate. What happens to eagle happens to me, so I like to play in the ideas, sorry for sounding over bearing, I wasnt trying to come off like I knew anything more than anyone else.

Dont worry about it, you have every right to speculate as much as the next guy. Don't let the bitter, miserable folk around here get you down. Most of the people here who act like they know what's going to happen don't know crap, and are usually wrong. I've been on these Internet speculation forums for years now, and the one thing I have learned is, it's mostly all complete crap. Just entertainment. Nobody else here has any more idea than the next guy. The bitterness and the ego always shine though.

Haha... that's a good one!

I'll be the first to admit that I have no clue what is going to become of us.

IMO, you did nothing wrong at all. This a public forum and you have the same right as everyone else to post your thoughts and opinions.

sounds like a typical crusty old bitter Eagle captain.

Anyway, if Eagle plans to survive more then 5-9 years they do indeed need to move some planes around on certificates to allow for the purchase of larger aircraft to try and win some ASA's with other airlines.

One of my buds at the school house (Eagle), stated that Dan G wants to see all the twelve year senior guys and up at Eagle to flow to AA prior to any AA hiring. You will see things really start to move at Eagle if this is true.

Well, before any of the 824's can "flow" they will have to hire from the street.
