That's what you took from all this? The Eagle pilots are trying to improve the profession... come on, catboat.

Lets see how you feel when the squeeze begins to really hurt. You may care a little more then.
Lets see how said scum airline pilots leaves the bar when I walk in. Or good luck getting home if they are commuters.

No gamble, just a decision. The reality is: I was not willing to do it for the terms offered (XJT).
They want to wind us down? So be it. I will do something else.

Eagle pilots, bravo.

About time pilots stopped having career myopia, started thinking long-term and doing the right (sometimes difficult and/or painful) things.

Either way, I hope this gamble pays off. It's not as simple as some of you make it out to be. There are a number of factors which have to come together for this to go even slightly our way. In the end, AA may come back with the same offer or a slightly worse one...at which point we vote it in anyway because of how horrible things have become.

At which point all of this will have been for naught. But again, I am hoping for the best right now. I have just as much to lose and gain as every other Eagle pilot at this point.
I want to see you in the MIA crew room with a " Yes " button on.

No you're not. I'm raising the B.S. flag on that. Proclaiming you're a pilot does not make you one. An APC join date of March 2014, really?

Great job Eagle!

I agree with cat. It was pretty lame to try and discredit someone just because they don't share your view. Leave that to cable news channels.

I was suspicious after several users flagged him and took a look after noting his posting patterns. I did it to give him a chance, but it appears that is likely not the case.

If someone claims they are based somewhere and is posting as frequently as Skyvector, at least one should show up from where they are based or at least out on layovers... particularly a junior captain as he claims to be. However, that was not what showed up.
