Short of captains is a temporary issue. Once they accelerate the RJ's retirements in the fall, they should catch up. Company rather pay premium OT pay, JM pay, etc. in the meantime than sending pilots for long term training which in the end, is more costly.

Whats the deal with new hires? What base/equip has been going out lately?

All EMB. Most seem to be going to NY.

Once people start flowing over to AA and we get new airplanes, they will wish they had upgraded a head of time.

New airplanes? Our Next Gen's CRJ's aren't that new anymore.

just wait.. you'll see..

i've heard silent mumbles and rumbles about what may be coming very soon to eagle..

and its good

How could you hear something that was silent? :D

fixed it for ya... Eagle guys know what I am talking about :D

People need hope to continue living, but false hope? That's a quick way to an early grave.

Same here! with this Announcement, pilots will flock to AE!
Rainbows and ponies to everyone.
