still dont take the job if offered,

I gotta believe Eagle's applicant pool is severely drying up. If not, those applying are uniformed.

You will fall victim to management's games regardless of which regional you go to. Get used to it...

Going to beg PSA to hire me!

And PSA is a good company?

Talk about having sjs, begging to fly an RJ? You must be a special kind of person.

SIU is being extremely shady right now with their process. I have a friend who has had nothing but issues with the process. Very disappointed in how they're doing business these days.

How about separate pay scales altogether? GMAFB

Congratulations Eagle for getting me NOT to apply to your airline.

How is a 3.9 GPA business degree from a "top 10 ranked public university" relevant to operating a commercial airliner?

Whether you like it or not, airlines must clearly find better results with those candidates coming from aviation universities... or they would not be offering these bonuses. Aside from the actual flying, an aviation degree might also include curriculum in advanced aerodynamics, meteorology, human factors, flight physiology, aviation law... heck, even interpersonal communication. These are all subjects chosen to groom a well-rounded professional pilot and the results show.

Right now there are far fewer students enrolling in these types of courses. If airlines want to keep hiring from these universities, they will have to show some incentive to future prospects.
