EAGLE MINS DROP to 800/100

There are plenty of qualified people out there but don't meet their recency requirement. I know a couple. They'd rather go with a CFI that's flown the pattern 800 hours rather than someone with real pt121 experience.

Agree. flown with both and 121 are the worst.

Agreed. They won't take the guy that failed a PC 9 yrs ago in an airbus that is now furloughed and needs a job. Rather its better to take the cfi kid with no experience and no busted rides. That's safer right?? Oh well, its only eagle

Not only that. I've heard they won't touch you with an incident on your record whether you were at fault or not. That would leave me out.

Eagle cant find people?

Some eagle captains are going to AA soon because of the flowthru. These eagle guys are going to AA while there are still real AA pilots on the streets.

I guess mgmt figures they can train the 800 hour punk and at least get 3-4 years out of them before they are competitive enough to be hired at a better airline.

There's not a captain I know that wants to babysit some 800 hour wonder all month.

800 hour pilots don't belong on an airliner yet, IMO. They should pay their dues and go to the airlines after they earn their ATP. (instruct, ferry, banners, single pilot freight, etc...)

That Makes sense I guess that's why Eagle got that Hitler Youth nickname. Theid rather mold fresh meat than someone with prior experience that will leave as soon as Skywest or Republic hires.

....so they are ALMOST back to 2007 hiring mins right?


What was it back then....700/100?


Don't remember.

Ohh we've got a ways to go before we hit those levels. I think they were posting for 500TT but were accepting lower time guys by sending them to a CRJ Transition Course at ALLATPS. The lowest I had personally seen was a pilot nicknamed "Agent 196" because that was the total time he had when coming to indoc. It took 100hrs of IOE to get up to speed after training was finished.
