As a new hire what are the chances of getting the RJ instead of prop at AE??

Fly the Saab, it will be good for you.

Another case of SJS. I would rather fly the Saab

 

[FOAgain]

Have to agree. Saab is good time. Just ask all the SF3 Captains getting hired at SWA.

People need to stop with the RJ hard ons. It doesn't really matter what you fly. It's the type of person/pilot you are.

Your Saabs look so much better than ours, too! At least Eagle spends the money on paint.

ORD is a popular base and all they offer there is the RJ. Say you move to Eagle and get a TP, are their hangups when bidding the jet at the end of your year?

ATR! :beer:

Right now you have a better chance of getting a TP, they are pulling a bunch of SF3's out of the desert, and they are going to need to be staffed.

Ain't no thang! Eagle needs to open a Saab base at RFD

By the way, where are you guys at with the old contract? Is it almost up?

 

[DGdaPilot]

Not even close. It's a 16 year contract, which is kinda good and bad. We need some changes, but during these rough past couple of years AMR couldn't whipsaw us against TSA or CHQ. We do have an amendment round (our final one, I believe) coming up, so we should get a few changes from that.

No, still have a little under 9 years on the contract, but so far it has been pretty good.
