As long as "others" continue to take CMEL pilots fresh out of flight school then AE as no choice to lower their mins. The days of "flight instructing" (buliding experience) are over, 350 then 250 and someday a pulse, will be the mins. Pay and QOL will continue to go down, those who take this job will have no room in the next couple of years to ask for anykind of raise or benie's.

Eagle does not pay bad at all according to the APC pay scale. Alot of people here who work for them seem to like it as well.
I wonder why they can't keep FOs around? I mean the only real bad thing I see is their upgrade time.

I see a ton of these regionals hiring with 250/50, 350/50 and 500/50. What if you are 1100/10? (Cough Cough, me) Would they trade total time for multi time? It seems like a year of instructing and other misc. experience is worth a measly 40 hours of multi time.

Acording to APC, the most junior captain was hired before 9/11.

Yup almost 8 years right now. The story goes AE did not hire for almost 3 years after 9/11 and that last person hired in 2000 is finally about to upgrade SOMETIME this year, automatically bringing upgrade down to 4-5 years. Still, high compared to other regionals right now, but if a slowdown keeps going it is probably not horrible I am guessing.
By the way I am just anoob wannabe with no direct knowledge except JC rumots.

The last time I looked, there were THREE people on the seniority list that were hired in 2003. In other words, if you base 'projected upgrade time' based on date of hire alone, you're not getting an accurate picture at all.
Not to mention, rate of upgrade is about to pick up a bit as more flowbacks and TWA guys move up to AA.
I called it- any month now, upgrade times will be 4 years or less, and declining.

Man, don't feel bad.
I'm starting to have a hard time remembering high school, and I was class of '97.
