siucavflight,
It's not a matter of having a beef against Eagle, but your rationalization of a fact (7+ year uprade) borders on misinformation. If you're hedging your career bets on the Xmas wishlist that was your last post, that's your prerrogative. BUT, anybody who is willing/able to justify living on the real world @ regional FO payscales, for effectively a decade, raises a flag on my ADI. Either you're a complete idiot since you'll have to live off credit, or like Grizzly Adams (I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt), OR you don't need the money and have artificial sources of income/housing options (parents, previous career) to offset the stagnant pay. The latter IS a problem for this industry, and those I do have a beef with.
I wish you success in your career, but I have to openly question your happiness with Eagle on the basis of what I argue is a disingenuous portrayal of the long term feasibility of that company for folks trying to put food on the table. The only people Eagle makes sense for is those AA displaced pilots or people who would be content making Eagle their final destination. Everybody else should stay clear. You (from what I gather from your previous posts) are neither, so your constant pointing out about the quality of screening at your current employer is disingenuous and a mere rationalization, never mind immaterial as noted by people on this board who have been rejected by Eagle and yet attained other avenues of employment of a higher quality, such as the military, (sorry if that chafes people). Somebody needs to offer some counterpoints to the koolaid, we're all big boys here and everybody is responsible for their own homework, but it has to be stated that your outlook on the company is a wish, not a fact, and people need to make decisions based on that.
