American Eagle Invite Interview

[lookin4better]

In addition my folks at the moment are willing to help suplement my living should I have to move out from the LAX sector. [email protected]

wow!!! completly amazing.......no wonder its PPL on monday .....Regional jet job on wednsday .....and complaining about I deserve my 777 CA job on Friday......I guess if someone can get their life subsidised by their parents more power to them..... im sure hes a joy to fly with....this post has to be a joke

I'm sure Eagle hired him. I talked to a new hire last month who came here with 250 TT from some bridge program.

There was also a 3 year complete hiring freeze. Factor that into the current upgrade times.

 

[lookin4better]

I think someone hired at AE today will upgrade in 4-5 years....retirements, furloughs will start going back in the next 3 years and attrition. I could be wrong but I think 4 years sounds about right.

And I agree with your factoring in the 3 years of not hiring.....I guess I have a positive attitude and not 'the sky is falling' attitude.

I completely agree. Upgrade time is 7 years for a person HIRED 7 YEARS AGO. No one has a clue what it is for someone hired tomorrow. I too agree with the 4 year prediction. You have a refreshing attitude. Welcome to my club.

Remember Eagle did not hire anyone for almost three and a half years, take that off of the seven year upgrade times and you are back at three and a half years for a CA upgrade, to me it does not sound that bad.

28 more Capt vacancies announced yesterday for Eagle. I believe that's somewhere close to 80 - 100 or so since Spring 06.

I think thats pretty close.....I was thinking its pretty close on those numbers too....not alot .....but all put together......with not many CAs leaving....i think they might be prepping for a few callbacks of furloughs.....of course I could be wrong

 

[pgcfii2002]

So how does their flowthrough agreement work with AA???

 

[DGdaPilot]

It doesn't. Do not plan on coming Eagle because you want to flow through. While technically still in effect, far more have flowed back (a bad word in the Eagle group) than have flowed through. It may happen again someday, but don't come here soley counting on that.

This guy must have gone to Shebles.


The following are two most important lessons I learned about my aviation training! I went out of town paid certain amount of money and expected to get trained and pass FAA Check Ride. They had onsite examiners working for them

Commercial AMEL- Add on (Jan. 2003) was due to lateness of gear retraction on last take off before going in for parking.

Certified Flight Instructor: (Jan. 2003) certain things took place that I feel were unfair and against the FAA-Plan of Action. I retested few times at this flight school with two separate examiners and was unsuccessful. Thus, I left and came home to LA where I retook and passed. I am by far not stating I was not prepared for at least one of the exams. However, the majority of what occurred was inappropriate. I am unable to describe this with out a formal letter to you at this time. Think it requires both a full written letter and oral discussion which I’ll be more then happy to explain. What I have learned over the past two-half years is it made me a much better instructor and pilot for the long run! In conclusion this flight school has been able to escape MULTIPLE Attempts by the Las Vegas, NV FSDO. I was made aware of it after my departure.
