|  Leaving American Eagle I have decided to leave American Eagle Airlines for a mechanic position with Horizon Air in Portland, OR to be closer to family. American Eagle is a great place to work however they are not located where I need to be, nor do they fly to Boise, ID where the majority of my family now lives. For those mechanics wondering about compensation difference, there is not much. Horizon slightly beats out American Eagle if you are on a third shift for first year pay. Horizon top out pay is in 9 years where as Eagle is 12. Eagle has doubletime pay where as Horizon does not. Horizon allows mechanics to jump seat, Eagle does not. Other than those they are basicly the same.

| Re: Leaving American Eagle Say hi to Jared G in PDX. He got hired there right out of A and P school. I've known him through the church camp I volunteer at for years and he stayed with me one summer. |
