Eagle application callback.

[7574EVER]

(no negative comments please) It's official. I send my app into Eagle through airlineapps tonight. I realize it's 1:15 in the morning so I realize that the EARLIEST I would potentially get a callback would be on Monday; but I'm just wondering if anyone has a rough timeframe that eagle has been getting back to people recently. I know in the past it's been as little as 12 hours to a week. Just wondering if these times are still about right.

 

[mdt301]

with your times should be within 1 week for sure. just curious but what made you choose eagle?

 

[siucavflight]

You will not get a call. Check your email, that is how they do it. Be sure and fill out the addendum that they send back to airline apps.

It's official: You will be an FO 4 Ever, on reserve most of that time.

 

[LewisU_Pilot]

You will probably get an Email on Tuesday to call to schedule an interview. Good luck and don't listen to all the negativity on this board about Eagle.

I was only on reserve for 15 days. And 4 years is not forever to be an FO. But think what you want.

Oh, so you upgraded to CA after 4 years at Eagle? What have you been smoking?
OH......I get it...... "Someday our upgrade time will be at 4 years"....whatever, you crazy Saluki.

The upgrade time has dropped to about seven years, however that includes a three year hiring freeze, so when the last guy from 01 upgrades the next guy will be an 04 hire. 7 minus 3 is 4!

Upgrade time anywhere is cyclic.....I upgraded at AE on the SAAB in 2 years and 9 months back in the day before 9/11, and was awarded the Rj Upgrade at 6 years and 2 months back in 2004.......the time is dropping rapidly right now, and pending the results of our arbitrations could really come down quick.

 

[7574EVER]

Hmm.....I ask a question about Eagle and it turned into an argument about upgrade times. What a shocker. Anyway, thanks to those who posted a response to my question. I just hope the interview goes well.

Checked, and a response on the way.
Of course the conversation turns into upgrade times. You as a new hire will be in the left seat in around four years. Depending on how this arbitration on OCT 12th goes, it may be much much quicker then that.

uncle bunkle is a jackass probably still a student pilot

From the way Eagle (and SkyWest) spams me, I get the impression they're a little behind the recruitment power curve. I say you'll get the email on Monday.

 

[7574EVER]

Checked, and a response on the way.

Thanks...I tossed another one back to you.

With the way the pilot market is these days...why Eagle? I understand the motto "to each his own", but EAGLE...c'mon. It's f'in pilot purgatory. It was a great choice to build time three years ago, but now it's just a bad move. Oh wait I forgot about the "flow through/flush back" policy. There are much better regionals out there. The only "pro" I can think of is that it's pretty easy to commute, and thats if you have too. Plus, American flys friggin' everywhere.

 

[7574EVER]

Thanks for the response everyone. I got the e-mail with the interview offer this afternoon and have to call tomorrow to schedule.

As far as why Eagle... well, I'm not going to get into my personal life for all to read; but when I began looking at regionals I was in a situation that being based at home at a stable company would be the absolute best choice. There were other places; but I was trying to avoid commuting or needing to commute in the future. Upgrade time was not my main priority; but, being home as much as possible and helping to feed a little girl (not mine) was. About a month ago I got royaly screwed over (women have a tendency to do that to ya) and what I had been expecting to need to do for about two years suddenly was no longer an issue. However, still looking at the facts and the QOL of living in base, Eagle is still very enticing to me.

So although many may not agree with my choice, I had my reasons. I was looking at it from a standpoint of family and well being, not upgrade time. Things and times change. No one knows what the future will bring. All we can do is make what we feel is the best personal choice and begin the ride hoping it takes us in a good direction.

....Patting myself on the back. So what do I win?

 

[siucavflight]

Thanks for all your help so far. I'm sure I'll be calling on you again. Oh and BTW...that's 757 haha.

I called and talked to Dorthy today. I'm set up to fly out Tuesday the 9th and interview on the 10th. So far the claims of how nice the people are is completely true. Dorthy was a sweetheart and answered every one of my questions while making me feel completely calm and confident. I just hope that the trend continues!
