Anyone out there ever left aviation and tried to get back in? I left Trans States after a year to take up a job at a local airport. I am considering getting back into the field, the grass isnt always greener. I have about 2500 total and 500 multi turbine. I know can build some cheap single engine time around here but how do hiring commities view a "used to be". I left TSA under good terms i.e. not fired or asked to resign and I even gave them a week and a half notice, extenuating circumstances. I would like to fly for American Eagle. Any thoughts?

bristo, apply everywhere, you have an interview and a job offer. Just have a good answer on why you got out and why you want to get back in.

Plan to live in base and work a lot. There is a pilot shortage. You'll get hired so do your research before accepting an offer. Don't forget United/Delta are hiring too. Check out their mins.

What would a new hire's upgrade look like getting on with Eagle right now? Is it supposed to stay pretty stagnant or is there an upgrading within a couple years?

 

[fwrdobservr82]

not too many people are taking the turboprop upgrade, im an 04 hire and i think i can hold it next year, so if that tells you anything...plus management is in the process of trying to wipe out the top half of our seniority list. I bet a newhire now will be holding captain within about 3 years, but thats just a wild guess.

 

[GlenQ]

do they fly the turboprops out of BOS?...how's the movement in that base?

 

[Rally]

The only T-prop bases to my knowledge are DFW, LAX and MIA. I think BOS is ERJ
