Have you worked for another regional? Eagle is far from the worst.

Really? Thats weird because I got the upgrade 8 months ago and I still havn't even been at Eagle 7 yrs yet.. Things are moving now.. And it will drop more. 20 flows/mo + all other attrition. We have more movement than any other regional right now.

I agree, we have more movement than any other regional. People are leaving, that's why they are metering.

Hopefully it will work out ok for many of us, unless they let us die.

It's far from the worst and still horrible, that's my point.

All the attrition in the world won't help people upgrade if/when the fleet size shrinks.

I believe they fly from ATL and SWA from MCO.

No matter how you look at it, if you have to do a 2 leg commute to get to work it's very tough and tiring and you will probably get burnt out. If you can fly for someone with a base in ATL or better yet MIA, life would be much easier if you plan to stay in Key West.

P.S. Don't listen to anything Bzzt might have to say about Eagle, if that is somewhere you're considering applying to.

It would be nice if they would make a high speed rail connected to that light rail down there and maybe stop at a few keys but just try to shorten the long traffic jam ride down there
