There is nothing about eagles in the FAQ, nor are they main characters (except Gwahir). Maybe you two should re-read the FAQ yourself?

Giant eagles have been planned as a fast-travel system since the beginning. But the need for a fast-travel system was high and eagles would be much work to add. That's why Mevans added the current waypoint-based FT system as a temporary solution. Later he improved this system more and more and kept it as the final fast-travel system. I'm not sure about the current plans for giant eagles.
