This is correct. The Eagle leadership is getting help from places nobody would expect. It'll be public soon enough. I'd expect the company next to threaten to farm out the 47 CRJ aircraft and displace 300 Captains if their offer isn't accepted.
It's how they play the game. Trust me. To you guys this is your livelyhood and careers. To them it's a game of how much they can increase profit before the next round of golf next week.
I'm retiring in two years. I'll move along to the sidelines and somebody can have my seat watching the polar caps freeze over. It's been a great career. I'm into my golf game more now anyway. I'd just like to see pilots take our profession back from the bookworms before I retire. I'd also like to see my nephew have a clear future from Eagle. If I can pass a tidbit of info along from time to time, I will.

Once L-Eagle has flowthrough for new hires, people will be leaving other regionals to come here. This means more upgrades and faster movement. I agree with Mason, L-Eagle is about the be THE place to be.

I disagree with this, people knew you had flowthrough rights after summer 2011 if you got hired by October and we didn't have a rush of new hires. I think most people realize that the flowthrough agreements are secondary to a quick upgrade.

Dead wrong. Eagle had a HUGE rush of applicants in 2011. They hired over 700 pilots that year, the most ever.

No one in the early part of 2011 even knew about a flow through or had one. That deal didn't come about til half way through the year and by then most of that wave had already been hired.

I am sorry to say but I do no think this is anywhere close to being correct.
Why would anyone come to Eagle if offered jobs at any other regional? Outdated aircraft that will be parked, high cost structure, AMR previously wanted to sell you but would not just as soon close you down, hugely long upgrade times... the list goes on and on.
I only wish you guys over there now the best of luck, but there is no way Eagle ever becomes the place to be. That's like saying Endeavor is the next place to be because of the SSP with daddyDelta. Ain't gona happen.
