Good post, Senna. At least you're using your brain instead of just going along with the rest of the mob.
Spending all of our tax money attempting to "democratize" the middle east (post-Saddam) seems like a GIANT waste of money to me. Think of what good we could do with that money if we kept...
Hey HuskerFan: You said anywhere, right?
The University of Oklahoma's aviation dept. is hiring CFI's as far as I know. I live in Norman, and it sure was fun watching OU beat up on your guys 2 years ago. I won't mention what happened last year....
Anyway, congrats on getting your CFI. Check...
How about truth in advertising? I'd call that a violation. For them to show Eagle's CRJ-700 is a stretch, since you've gotta have about 2 years' seniority to hold the RIGHT seat! I've been at Eagle for 4 1/2 years, and I'd be the #4 FO out of like 15 guys at DFW!
Does Southwest have a waiver on that 250-kt rule? Man, I've had the IAS pegged on 250, and I still see those guys going by me! Maybe it's some kinda fancy Southwest-calibrated airspeed indicator...
Thanks for your input, Sponge-Boy.
Dragin - I understand why the TSA guys are excited, with the opportunity for their guys to be recalled. They must understand, however, that us Eagle guys will fight this, since contractually we have to go with our aircraft when they are moved off-property...
Like EagleATR says, you'll have experienced FO's who will be more than willing to help you. I've flown ATR left and right seat, RJ right seat, and now the Saab as a Captain. Never flew right seat in it. FO's have been great helpin' me out. I always tell them to "watch me like a hawk" and...
Monkeys:
What's sad is we get email all the time from management blaming how BAD things are at Eagle on the ASM cap, so I guess some folks are buying it.
I, like most Eagle guys, am standing with you
on this one. They will not divide us any more.
What's the status of your negotiations?

Back to the original theme, here. You were right to take your time, and make sure your student had his stuff done and checked. I get rushed all the time at large airports, and if we're not ready, we ask for a few seconds. No biggie, except sometimes they "forget" about you after that...
Hey, i'll do my best to get out of your way, but I think a saab upgrade isn't likely. I'll probably be at the bottom of the reserve list until the saabs are gone out of DFW. I just hope I can hold jet CA before I get displaced to jet FO!
Hey 'Stang. I've been at Eagle since '98, and am a VERY junior SF3 Captain at DFW. In September, I upgraded to ATR Captain at DFW (actually finished IOE on the 7th - phew), then in December I was displaced to the SF3. I was lucky to hold onto that CA seat, and am trying to get up to 1000 PIC...
Their web site doesn't say anything about hiring pilots right now, but I have heard they are hiring "under the table". Any ideas on how to get noticed?
