... I have some very inside sources that are concerned whether Eagle will exist even six months from now. Does flying for Eagle hurt chances of flying with AA (right now I have opinions from some very senior folks that say no) and words that AA is going to start hiring in July/August.

Good Point Palmtree,
As Eagle training is closer to home, and my initial plans are hoping that in 6 months one of the mainlines would give me a shot, I didn't see a significant issue going either way. It made sense to enlist the perspective, knowledge and opinions of those doing the job so I would make a better choice. It may or not be the case, but it seems that I'm going to burn a bridge with one of these regionals, I'm just trying to gather the information so I burn the correct bridge.

Touche Felt4 and I will certainly be more than capable of making a decision. Having been in 5 conflicts, with multiple SAMs being shot a me, bombing and Air to Air Missions, Close Air Support, global operations into and out of austere fields, night combat on NVG's and being a mission commander of dozens of combat aircraft in the air at the same time, making critical life and death decisions, I'm certain I'll be fine in making a decision for my family. However, I never went into any battle without as much intel from all of the support agencies available. That is how I treat these forums...a support agency. I have some very inside sources that are concerned whether Eagle will exist even six months from now. Does flying for Eagle hurt chances of flying with AA (right now I have opinions from some very senior folks that say no) and words that AA is going to start hiring in July/August. Bottom line, this is simply a fact finding Q&A, if you have something constructive, I'm all ears otherwise...thank you for your assistance.
Thank you for your service. I have the the most respect for the duty you do and continue to do.
Back to my point. Why start another thread about what so and so should do with their choices. Theres a new one every week? You said you have read the threads. You interviewed at both with the intentions of going to one. If you have read the threads you can make a valued opinion for yourself. There is a lot of information on here that starting a thread about "what should I do" leads to he said she said about how great one airline is vs. how terrible the next is. I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully someone on here doesn't sway you in the wrong direction.

OK, here's another question on topic. For us non-current retiring mil guys, if we have the opportunity to go with Eagle, does anyone have the terms of the contract for the 5K signing bonus? If we were to get picked up by a major prior to two years, can we back out of it, and if so, what is the cost?
