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.

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.

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

Good luck Eagle guys. Hope this turns out better.

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...
