Why the hardon for an RJ?

Just look at the pay rates. TP FO rates suck. If Eagle wants TP FO's, they should even out the rates.

All the flowbacks that will be recalled next year are RJ Cap's. Every aircraft every base and every seat will need filling in the next few months. No telling how they'll spread it out in the classes but you can be sure the RJ's will be showing major vacancies soon.

Eagle has jets?!?

Yes, shiny ones!

To answer the question: there's no telling. It's really a crap shoot on day one of indoc but you can transfer to one after a one year lockin (first year pay is the same regardless of type).

about pay, first year prop and jet are exactly the same. you have a seat lock for one year. if you get a prop while in training after your year is up you can bid for the rj and make jet pay. if you get a prop you'll hold a line much faster than the jet and make more money b/c of that if you choose. then after your year is up you can go to the jet. not a big deal on the whole pay issue.

Good answer. Thanks.

Depends on your age, and if they have jet slots offered in your class date. Recent classes have either been all jet, or a mixture of jet and props.

I said "depends on your age".... 'cause Day 1, you get to pick what aircraft/base in order of oldest to youngest in the class. So the older, the better your chances.
