I think the writing is on the wall. Remember back in 2008 when Eagle was hiring people with wet commercials? Everything was going great, then suddenly classes were cancelled, then a little while later people went on furlough. Only 71 last time, wonder what the magic number will be this time?

The problem with Eagle is as soon as they give you your tentative offer they fax out something to your current employer asking for a performance evaluation so they basically force your hand telling your current employer you are planning on going to Eagle. I was going to wait untill after I passed the regional jet course and got a firm class date before giving my notice to my employer but that went right out the window when they recieved the performance evaluation.

This would happen with any company that was hiring and then was put in our current situation. That the nature of the biz. Lesson 1.

Except you can't start the course until your employer responds to the request... And you have passed CAs board. If you were paying attention during the morning brief, you would have caught that. Good luck getting back to HPN. Hope the hotel didn't run ya too high

How about all the nice guys at NetJets who quit their good job to return to their furloughed United job a few years back....only to get the shaft....sure would suck to quit a good job for AE and get furloughed soon after.

what he said

this could happen with any career or job

Same thing I was told in '06 when I compare Comair to Piedmont.

Good luck Eagle guys. Hope this turns out better.

They'd have been furlughed at NJA, or at best working for a company who no longer cares about it's product. That might work in the 121 world, but it's not going to in the fractional world. NJA isn't anything like it used to be.

early projects say parking 30-100 aircraft(mostly 135/140's)....source from about 1 check airmen and 2 in the training department...

good luck

I had interviews scheduled with comair and eagle in the late spring/early summer of 2008....they both went away. Worked at the flight school for another two years after that...
