    American Eagle guys, what's the latest?

    Actual numbers were 27 furloughed June 1 (including myself). Supposedly more to come over the next several months, to total about 60. These other furloughs may or may not happen.

    121 F/O IFR Currency

    Thanks for the help flx757. Very clear and informative. Much appreciated!

    121 F/O IFR Currency

    I was reviewing some IFR stuff, and found that the regs (Part 91) say that to be IFR current, a pilot must log 6 approaches down to minimums to be current. Being that all Capt.s must do recurrent every 6 months, this obviously isn't a problem for them. But what about F/O's? The regs only...

    New ALPA "EXPRESS" for Regionals...

    Just got my copy of the new ALPA Express newsletter. Apparently a brand new section of ALPA focused on the regionals. Anybody else think that this is a direct result of pressure from the likes of RJDC and more vocal discontent from so many regionals these days? Just wondering what everyone...

    What regionals might be interested?

    I've been in touch with ASA, looking to get an interview there myself. Yes, they love 121 time, but also REALLY want applicants to be current in 121. Give it a try anyway though. The only airline I found that expressed enough interest to send me an application once they got my resume was PSA...

    AAEagle Future Expansion

    You still apparently don't get it. True, the reverse code-share does not count. But there are STILL connection flights that are NOT reverse code-share. Which is why management has recently stated that MORE code-share flights will be dropped by January (to become reverse code-share flights) as...

    AAEagle Future Expansion

    Posted by Minime: Minime: You are missing two very important points. The first has already been brought up by others that Eagle did have an issue with Connection long before 9/11, and secondly, and also importantly, the ASM cap applies not only to Eagle, but to ALL THE CONNECTION CARRIERS AS...

    Eagle recall Aug 26? True or False?

    I talked to Claudette the other day. Letters have been sent out down to #59 so far. She doesn't yet know how many will accept, so most likely more letters will be sent out. They want an additional 30 pilots to accept, for a total number of recalls (including the first round) of 50.

    regionals owned by majors

    The whole notion of not hiring from your wholly-owned regionals so you don't have to train the same person twice is stupid. Too bad many people in management can't seem to figure this out. If you only hire from other airlines' regionals, and they do the same, you STILL will have to train...

    No Short Cuts

    It's just too bad for Benzene that 2,000+ hours won't make a person more intelligent or less bitter.

    Best Regionals To Work For

    It's always interesting to see how things change. And fast too. Three years ago I doubt many people would have put Comair as one of the top to work for (low paying contract, and one of the last to drop pay-for-training for all new hires). Before Delta bought ASA, who would have listed them? Just...

    Eagle recall Aug 26? True or False?

    Actually the two are not related at all. Eagle is not recalling because it is expanding and picking up extra flying vacated by TWA. Eagle is shrinking, as discussed above. The recalls are only to replace the large number of pilots jumping ship from Eagle. These new furloughs will not affect...

    Bailin' Eagle....maybe

    Go for it , man! If nothing else, you can always get an interview at ASA, Comair, etc., with your 121 time you already have, down the road. Spend more time with your family, girlfriend, whatever, and enjoy some local flying. My insight is that you already have 121 time with a reputatble airline...

    Chautauqua Gulity or not

    It all hinges on what one considers "operational control." TSA pilot is correct if you view operational control on that level, but not the big picture. However, if you view it also/or as the ability to control where the aircraft is flown to, the time schedule, how it is used, if it has dual FMS...

    Eagle ready to implode?

    Hey guys, relax. This Threehole ass is obvious flame-bait.

    Letter from Eagle To ALPA. More BULL!!!!

    Ummmm......yeah, but at that time there also was no plan to keep those RJs doing feed to American through any "American Connection" nor "reverse code-share." :mad: :mad: It always surprises me how management seems to think everyone but them is so utterly stupid. Stupid enough to believe the...

    Recalls at Eagle?

    I wonder if those tools in management still think they're saving money with our 16 year contract and outsourcing more and more flying. With so many people leaving, morale in the pits, displacements, etc., training costs alone due to people quiting and displacing must have already cost AMR a...

    Recalls at Eagle?

    Just where on the company website does it say there may be recalls (I've heard the rumor, and it's on the ALPA boards, but the kool-aid page?)? I looked but didn't see it. Unless it was in Criner's latest spin-doctor production. I can't read his s$#t anymore. The mere act of reading his garbage...

    Trans States to Receive 14 New RJ's

    OK, but I am wondering if you can soundly verify or deny a rumor that's been floating around Eagle. Word is that TSA will now be doing some turns into DFW, via another out station. Is this true???? If it is, what do you think about that? I don't really want to open this argument again. Just...

    From Pilot to FBI

    Jordan, It is true to fly for the FBI one first has to be hired as a Special Agent with them. I have a friend who has been hired as such, and will most likely fly for them (he is currently in New Agent Training in Quantico). I am in the application process, which takes forever. A few months ago...
