So anyone know what the plans are for Flight Deck recruitment? nothing is said on there website but after stalking a few friends on Facebook it seems a Saab TR course is on at the moment
What are Easterns views on people working as cabin crew, flight ops with them, before applying to be flight crew?
PM's are welcome

T3 v BM
They only compete of course on ABZ - NWI/BRS. I believe they both do pretty well on NWI with the high yields.
With BRS there is no logical reason to choose Eastern over BMR what with the faster more comfortable aircraft, the fact it's non stop and takes an hour less than Eastern. If Eastern want to compete they'll need at the very least a non stop service.

The Embraer is certainly a step up from the Jetstream, but in terms comfort, there's not much to choose between a 145 and a Saab, and whilst the 145 goes a bit higher, and flies a but faster above FL100, the difference isn't that great.
Time will tell whether bmir can attract enough pax at the prices they are charging to make the route sustainable long term with the frequency they have introduced.
Why would Eastern need to go head to head on a direct route?

The point people are making is the bmir flight flies directly between brs and abz whereas Eastern are going via lba. It is this stopping in lba which adds the extra time tothe Eastern flight. Not the type or speed of the aircraft used.

My experience would tend to point to Eastern NEVER going head-to-head with ANYONE. Whenever another airline appears on the scene, Eastern legs it. I don't know if this is because Eastern relies on people not having an alternative to their offering...

A very similar attitude that is also taken with regards to how they treat their crew. Sadly for the knuckle-draggers who take so much delight in the abuse of good people, I feel that change is just around the corner...

Onyxcrowle, I hope your not crew popping strong pills like that before you go flying 
I think the Saab is a better cabin than the embraer and like someon else said the time difference is not going to be that much. I'd rather fly in the Saab

How economic are the Jetstreams to run? Do they go tech very often with their age or are they pretty good with reliability and fuel burns?
Just curious as I dont know a lot about them and whether Eastern will replacement in the future ...
