Eagles Mins lowered

[flyboyzz1]

wow that was fast submitted my stuff on airline apps last night... and got an email this morning! Time to hit the books.

 

[flyby]

Wow, I feel bad for the captains at AE that have to baby-sit these 800 hour clowns.

I have a flow-back friend that is constantly telling me horror stories.

How do you feel about the FOs that have to babysit flowbacks? They have their share of "what the he** were you thinking" pilot stunts.

yeah quick response! Just recieved my email today as well.

I applied to Eagle in fall of 2005 and got a call in early December 2005 for an interview in mid-January 2006 (first opening they had). I was hired by AWAC and afterward called to cancel the interview.

I just got an email from Eagle via AirApps about their lowered minimums, and the email stated they were hiring 700 pilots in 2007. Not that I'm thinking of making a move, but why hiring so many?

All of the AA flowback are getting recalled(should be all gone by middle of next year at the latest.) We are understaffed already, a lot of attrition in the bottom half of the list.

so whats the newest upgrade time say for ORD?

 

[JediNein]

How possible is it for a new-hire to get a SAAB or jet in LAX, even reserve?

 

[Goose Egg]

What's the likelyhood of getting BOS if I wanted it?

Very possible to get the Saab right out of training in LAX, the jet is EMB is very senior in LAX.
Flyboy I am not sure what you mean by the upgrade time for ORD? If you mean how long till you can get ORD, I was able to get it right out of training, if you are asking how long to make CA on the EMB at ORD right now it is about 8 years, but for the guys getting hired right now we should see it come down to 3-4 years.

The likelyhood of BOS is very good, as long as you get the EMB, if you guys are thinking about applying they are letting you pick your base before training starts, so if they offer you a job, they will ask you what base and equip you want and then you can wait for that class.

Sweet. I wouldn't even have to move.

Yep, that is why I was excited to get ORD, living in base is a good thing.

I think that might be a litttttttttle optimistic. 3-4 years to SF3/ATR CA will hopefully be in the not too distant future. But EMJ/CRJ CA will probably be more like 5-6 years.

I think that what a lot of people forget when looking at Eagle is that for two and a half years they did not hire anyone, so when the last guy with a Aug of 01 hire date upgrades the next guy to upgrade will have a hire date of Sep 03, therefore dropping the time 25 months over night, now you add in all of the CAs going back to mainline, normal attrition, and the majors hiring and I think that you will see things starting to move very quickly, again I could be wrong but this is my prediction.

no wait for travel priviliges, they kick in your first day of class.

Still have to pay for them for the first 5 years of employment?? That's what it was when my wife flew there in '01 and '02.

For you on a jumpseat no you do not have to pay. Anywhere else in the country that AA goes is going to cost you about 10 dollars, if you leave the country then you have to pay the customs fees as well. After 5 years they do wave the 10 dollars.
