If AA hires off the street, that equals one training event for the company.


This makes sense, but the two AA guys I know from th military do hate AE with a passion. Not sure why actually.

Hey Ellen. Why do you say that Comair will be out of business in a few years? The reason I ask is because a friend of mine has an interview with comair. He is furloughed from ACA/Indpendance Air. He has 7000 hours, 4 type ratings, and is flying 737's for a local company out of Louisville. He hates where he is working and is worried about being furloughed again. Is Comair really that bad? What would you do? I already recommended him at UPS, but it might take some time to get the call. Thanks in advance

I suspect that Comair will be losing some flying to a lower bidder very shortly....go to beagle

There is a general disdain for regional pilots from most mainliners......after all, you're "stealing" their flying:eek: :D

Welcome to AMR. It is true that an Eagle pilot leaving will still trigger training events. But it will not be company induced. That's just how it works. A pilot leaves, oh well there's nothing we can do. Hire from withn? Do you realize how much that will cost. It's never been about morale, just ask an Eagle crew.
