Desperate Pilots: American Eagle

[Illini Pilot]

are they firm on the 100 ME?

 

[eaglefly]

Although rare we have had some pilots start out at an extremely low amount of time. It was either usually political or nepotism. So can I have my drink now?

You guys are not going to belive anything this drunken NWA management bunny says do you ?

He's been crapping in the same executive toilet as the rest of the NWA management liars, cheats and crooks have been and thus has no credibility.

What is happening at A.E.

What is the upgrade time at A.E. now?

What is the upgrade time at A.E. now?

From Eaglelounge, as of early August:

Saab 8/23/99 (LAX)
EMJ 12/01/97 (BOS)
CR7 1/27/97 (DFW)

How about you raise first year pay to ohhh say, 30-35k to start? I bet you could fill up some newhire classes easily. If you're not going to offer any hope of an upgrade this decade, you have to offer something ($$$).

That would be nice. Sadly, they will just keep lowering mins. In a few cases they've hired right above the Commercial pilot mins lately so they are starting to hit a hard bottom requirement. They will also continue reassigning and junior manning to cover shortages. We have had numerous occurences lately of Captains flying as FO as well.

Are you serious?

Weird, an earlier poster claims that they were told they weren't competitive enough with just over 1000/100.

 

[jetexas]

Yeah. I understand it was a few 'ab initio' folks.

I got an email for an interview the day after I filled out the app, another follow-up email 2 days later, and also a letter in the mail "reminding" me to set up my interview. Anyone know how likely it is to get ORD as a base? If not right away how long to bid into it?

Thanks

Nope, because past results are not indicative of future performance, and I said they "won't hire", not "they've never hired".

If you prove me wrong, I'll buy you your beverage of choice to your heart's content...but my gut feeling tells me my wallet is safe.

You can get ORD right out of your class there. It is going pretty junior.

Is ORD an all-jet base or do they have props there?

 

[flyn96]

Or they may be helping their family out and picking up some much needed extra cash.

They wouldn't need the extra cash if people would quit voting yes on $hitty contracts that don't pay enough to feed one person let alone a family.

All jet. CRJ and EMJ.



LAX: EMJ and SF3

DFW: EMJ, CRJ, SF3

ORD: EMJ, CRJ

MIA: ATR

SJU: ATR

LGA: EMJ

BOS: EMJ

What are the minimum days off? Also, if anyone could provide the usual info on working there. There doesnt seem to be a lot of people trashing eagle so I guess thats a good thing.

Thanks
