No thanks!

Eagle is a good place to be, if you live in base at least for a little while get some 121 get out or stay, but a garuntee for no commute.. awesome to me.

They told everyone in class last year that they were hiring 600 in 2006. I think they hired half that.

With that said, Eagle is looking better by the day around here.

how does eagle plan to staff SJU when they now allow new hire FO's pick their base? Is SJU the most junior?

Thanks

 

[AvroGuy]

there are people who want to go to SJU. Not as many that want a shiny jet in the states, but there are some that want to go home.

 

[bogey383]

In the group I interviewed with there were a total of 9. 3 ORD, 1 DFW , 1 BOS, 2 MIA, 2 SJU.. It was pretty well spread out. On top of that the two that requested SJU had 4 of their buddies interview the week before and wanted to go their too.

Are they hiring anyone with less than 100 multi?

Actually, the number of ATR F/O's required in SJU is fairly small. A lot of locals like that. Some drunken yahoos who are single and want to fly around the Caribbean with access to $2 bottles of Rum also like it. MIA is a fairly small ATR operation as well.

Eagle's biggest shortage is (and will be) in Jet F/O's in U.S. bases, like ORD and soon DFW.

But don't think you'll upgrade fast. Once the flowbacks are gone in 1-1.5 years, movement will likely slow again. If you want a fast upgrade, cut up a peice of wood and go talk to Johnny O.

He's always on the lookout for more whores to maintain his wealth.

 

[bogey383]

What is upgrade at right now on avg, the last time i heard somewhere between 4-8 years? Though it won't matter soon enough if the legacies start hiring of the street with no PIC req.

Tell them if they get sick of eagle i have a good job waiting for them. but i dont hire with less than 100 multi. these days its hard to keep good FO's.

i find i have to do interviews quite often. attrition is such a problem. i cant figure it out.

Is it easy to get DFW prior to training? what should a first year FO expect to bring home everymonth including perdiem? thanx

Monthly rate calculator, factor in per diem and if your willing OT. You can get paid any where from 75-100 hrs, depending on how hard you want to work, factor in perdiem at 1-400 month, it varies. I'd look to see where you could get the left seat faster, that is where the pay is at.

 

[bogey383]

yeah bro, your base is finalized prior to training. i asked for mia in the interview and got mia..

 

[taters]

My fiancee is a genious..."does that stand for taildragger?" ...shes not a pilot.......fukkk

 

[Flybet3]

How does overtime at a regional work? is it over time when you fly above your monthly guarantee?

 

[eglpilot]

ot

ot is any flying you pick up on a day off or that is not part of your schedule

 

[DGdaPilot]

Yeah, Eagle is even looking at type rating senior FOs in anticipation for a mass-captain attrition. Who knows if that's gonna happen, but a $10 override is good for any FO.

 

[spacecadet1]

Rumor has it that they are having such a hard time getting FO's, they will be paying for one night with the hooker of your choice if you pass the checkride.
