Is your company hiring?

You've gotta sign a 12 month contract, which I didn't have a problem with because I'm making a ton a money and I needed the time anyway (especially the B58 time!).

If you don't care about the 12 month gig PM me.

"I agree, but it is nice knowing that you have somewhat of an edge. "


i think you can take your elitist attitude and shove it where the sun dont shine. Airlines dont give a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** where you train. You think when your sittin in front of a regional hiring board with 1500TT they are gonna care what you did in the first 250 of that?

The thing with going to a school like ERAU is you don't need anywhere near 1500TT to go to a regional.

American Eagle's mins for dean's list graduates is 500/50
ASA is 250 with internship
ACA used to be (before the Indy Air gig) Commercial Multi Inst. with internship

I know someone who is now an Aircrew Training Instructor with NWA (not the regional, the major) right out of his 4 year degree at ERAU with <300 TT after doing an internship there.

I went to ERAU. I chose not to exercise me AE option because I wanted more TT to go to someplace with less upgrade time.

ERAU and other name schools have other options for the low time pilot than going to a smaller community college - NOT that it's a bad choice, if you don't care about the options and want to work your way up. I wish I had the opportunity for the ASA internship, I graduated 1 year too early (2003) and it was just starting back up then.

Does this speak more to the quality of ERAU grads or the quality in the NWA trainig center?

Quality of the grads, of course...what did you expect me to answer.

Jealous...

Hey Wheelsup,

I like those TT mins for American Eagle, and ACA. But my god, the deans list haha. My Dad's best friend recruits for Eagle, I am going to check with him on those mins and see if I can get the first hand on that. But that sounds about right for Eagle. I've gotta get lucky somewhere...bound for SWA. They have outrageous requirements. Maybe not outrageous to everyone else but for a PPL with 100+ TT, it is.

Take care

Not really. Nothing against instructing, we need tons of good ones to make great pilots, but not something I'd like to do for an extended period of time. Maybe its just my innocence speaking but I dont see NWA putting a Grad into an initial class after teach ground school for a couple years.....IMO.
If they do, all the better for the grads but....i dont see it happening.

You know something they do here at Riddle, and I don't know whether to think its a good thing or a bad thing. You know the 250 TT required to get commercial, the FAA waives that requirement at Riddle allowing you to get commercial with no total time requirement. I thought that's pretty cool but that means that's even less time that I will have. I basiclly decided that since I will have all my ratings next year, I will get my instructor in the summer and try to get hired as a part time instructor. They get about 200 hours per year, and that would equate to about 650-700 hours. I think that's my best shot!

They do that everywhere, it is part 141 and it is somethiing like 190 hours. Just not a special ERAU thing

You are right. And i think some of that time can be in simulators cause I know some students that get commercial before 190TT....scary huh?
