I am still trying to get through the online application. What a pain in the butt. The online site is for numerous airlines, each with its individual criteria. However, the form is not individualized, but is designed to meet every possible whim of an employer. I started in June of last year and am still trying to find enough time to fill in the blanks. Are they serious about hiring well-qualified pilots? It must take shear desperation to get through that application. It sure would be nice if American Eagle posted what minimum information should be filled in. It would also be nice if I could find contact information for AE to communicate this to them.

I'm done.

The Mins are low for AE but the training is very good. I know a few pilots who have washed out of the program. i too am filling out an app right now it does take some time but at least the app is universal for many different airlines so you can use it for more than one one.
