American Eagle -- Any word from recent interviews/hires?

[Steve]

This past November made 2 yrs of being a CFI. Time does fly by.

Congrats BoDEAN

Mind sharing your times? Are you a CFII and MEI also? You can PM me.

 

[Swaayze]

Nope, no growth whatsoever. Hiring is for attrition (mostly FOs hunting for those elusive greener pastures).

Looks like 1.23.06 is the magical class date at AE. Wow, years of hard work, finally starting to pay off. Right now I am very very very happy.

Congrats Bo Dean.....Waitin for my call also, fingers still crossed!!Oh my god I could'nt imagine getting in an aircraft and not having to repeat right rudder at least 500 times!

Congrats! Where were you instructing in MI? (SE michigan as I remember). Maybe I can steal your old job!
PM me.

From what I understand the base assignment in class goes by age, oldest picks first.

Is it possible to commute on reserve; do you HAVE to live in domicile? How senior is BOS?

Thanks for the info and congrats on the job bodean!

Curious what the reserve guestimation is for a new hire over there.

Indefinite. There is NO growth at Eagle. Hiring is for attrition only. Reserve on the jets will be years.

BoDean congrats on the job. that's a great accomplishment. before you go to class, really decide if that is where you want to be. i have some friends out there and they are kickin themselves in the ass. you'll be on the right side for a loooooooong time. that might not mean much now, and i might get furloughed tomorrow for that matter, but take it for what it's worth. you can expect to be on reserve for a while and i promise you that will get old really quick. a captain i flew with not to long ago was at eagle for 6 years with no upgrade anywhere in sight and he left. and that's after 6 years!! on the other hand congrats. things could change tomorrow. study hard for class and happy holidays

Come to SJU, we've only got a 3 month reserve. ;-)

 

[flyinglow]

Enjoy it you all. You can stay for a year or so and get some jet time and leave like everyone else. That is the main reason for the attrition. New people making lateral moves to other regionals.

 

[PacoPollo]

I rather be on reserve for long time without worrying about my paycheck than a "quick" upgrade to a 121 bankrupt carrier.

Not to pee in your cheerios, but consessions in the near future..

Good Luck!

Last I heard was a 2.7% raise January 1 for everyone at AE.
