I find that hard to believe my father worked for Northwest for 33 years and our benifits are better than theirs. The fee that is charged is minute and I have never had a problem getting on an airplane. After 5 years coach is completely free commuting or personal travel. A lot of guys complain but they have never seen how it is at other carriers. AMR travel privileges is the one thing I would never complain about.

If you meet mins and have a clean history and were sent the message stating you don't meet the competitive mins Claudette Carroll wants you to call her to discuss your qualifcations. Her number is 817-963-1064. I have alerted her to your posts staing that you meet the mins and are being denied. It may be a glitch with Airlineapps.com and she would like to know about it. This will help you get an interview if you do indeed meet the mins and have a clean history. PM me if this helps.

It wouldn't be bad if they didn't train their gate agents to specifically NOT give you jumpseat passes (which are free), but they do, and gate agents that are willing to break that policy are rare. Go AMR! Way to squeeze a little more money out of your employees.

Well, I have seen how it is at one other carrier, and Eagle's travel bennies suck in comparison. The mileage fee isn't bad unless you're a commuter doing four legs and 4000 miles a week, and then it starts to get expensive.

Careerpilot, are you sure you're not a HR person instead of a pilot? 65 post trying to sell a company that doesn't have a captain hired this decade! Junior Captain sitting reserve on a SF340 with seven years seniority? Pay to commute?

Well I just landed in KICT about an hour ago so I am pretty sure I am a pilot. Just trying to help people out. I firmly believe that things are about to turn around at Eagle and am trying to help people get in on the front of the hieing wave. I have been completely honest with people and I am open to help out anyone that wants help. I was hired in 2001 and really enjoy working for Eagle. Plus I would also much rather work for a stable company. American and Eagle aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Can you say that about many other airlines? I would hate to be tied to NWA, UAL or Delta at this point.

And...listen again...aside from the $50/year fee on Delta, there is NO charge for me to nonrev. What AMR is absolute crap, and everybody I tell about it here thinks so. If you can't see that, then you're blind, dude.
