Eagle to be sold!

[spacecadet1]

All EMB's being sold to the new Iraq Air Force as target drones....

We need the Avro RJ85 or 100 at AE. I loved that jet. Who cares if it burns a ton of gas and goes slow.

 

[siucavflight]

Eagle is getting A-380's, its true, heard it today on the employee bus.

PB wants larger aircraft and Bain recommended larger aircraft. Neither made any mention of the CRJ-700.

There is so much bad blood between AMR and Bombardier over that airplane that neither side would even piss on the other if they spontaneously erupted into flames.

that being said, what is the only 70 seater eagle can currently buy?

AA scope limits Eagle to aircraft of 75,000 lbs MTOW. I beleive the CRJ-700 is the only 70 seat jet that falls under that weight limit currently.

Plus, we still have 25 options.

It's simple guys! You wanna upgrade "tomorrow" dont come to eagle, you want some stabiltity, OK work rules, and have your choice of base before class then apply. The rumors about eagle being sold, eagle getting new aircraft, flowthroughs, etc will always be around.

Well... it looks like that "Guaranteed AA seniority number upon hiring" is coming our way. We'll kind of know if this career path deal is true in weeks. That's the only way hiring will pick-up over here. Stay tuned for the APA-ALPA-AA-Eagle metting this 18th.

Good attitude chump, I also agree that the next few weeks and maybe months will be vital to our careers and lifes. Only 2 more days until we have an idea as to where they are going. I guess if not, I'll just have to be patiente like many many 6/7 year FO's at eagle. Hell, if they hung out for that long it must be a good thing I guess. Gotta be optimistic people!.....
You know what the funny thing is?
That many of the people that dog eagle b/c of the long upgrades are the same ones that are going to be saying things like and I quote "I have an interview coming up, any advice?" or "Do you guys know how long it takes to hear from the captains board? i hope to join the AMR family soon! so exicted" (of course this is if we get what we want in the next few months)

Kinda like Net Jets...I remember back in 2005 before their new contract, everyone dogged the sh** out of Net Jets, made comments like "well if you like to whore your self for low pay and long upgrade, then come to net jets". Then after the new contract everyone was almost giving out BJs to get an interview with Net Jets, and shouting to the world that Net Jets was the place to be! and now little by little we're starting to see again some people complain that the long term pay at Net Jets as an FO is to low. Geesh!

I really like you Eagle guys. I truly hope that AMR doesn't Sell you off because if they do, they'll turn around and kick you square in the nuts. At least that's what happened to us. Best wishes guys & gals!

They are not going to sell us. But they still might kick us in the nuts.

 

[AvroGuy]

But they still might kick us in the nuts.

More like the will still kick us in the nuts every chance they get. We don't even have to be facing forward for it.

Well, as I said: everything is pointing to AA numbers for Eagle pilots...Upgrades might not come down drastically..., they'll improve due to the new incentives to be announced....maybe 4 to 5 years in mid 2008. But at least a fairly young Eagle pilot starting now will have a shot flying those 787's (already secured with Boeing) at some point in his/her career. Eagle FO positions will become competitive.... The next couple of months will be decisive.
Things change quickly in this industry. I'll bet this will be another prime example.

Where did you get this information?

Where did you get this information?

From his rectal depository.

Yes, I suppose that would make sense!!
While it does look like todays meeting will result in AA numbers for all current Eagle pilots and newhires, the big unknown is how long till we make it over there.

Cecil will have a stroke if half of what they are promising comes true.

Actually, he may have seen it here on an AA press release. Fifth paragraph.

[Swaayze]

Oh, nevermind.

I'm sure the big announcement will be Friday. I'm just sure of it.

 

[Flybet3]

Where do you guys get this stuff?

As expected management continues to scratch themselves and there will be another meeting Friday. I'm sure the big announcement will be Friday. I'm just sure of it.

Everyone needs to stop being a bunch of little bitc***es. Everyone with a brain knows that negotiations take time, wether it's here at Eagle, or the White House. Management is gonna try to stall as much as possible ofcourse. Lets be optimistic but dont get tooooo excited that we're going to get something in paper signed and completed on friday, nor lets be negative and act as if everyone at eagle is fu****ed.
You want more pay? better work rules? Career advancement? Then we have to work together, fight together, negotiate and negotiate, and negotiate, stand firm, be patient and above all be positive.
Most of you fa****s that just bi*** and moan just want results NOW NOW NOW NOW and expect others to do the all the work and sacrifice while all they do is sit on the side bench and wait to enjoy the reward.
