What's up with American Eagle....

[labbats]

If they were expecting 26 to show up, but only 6 did... does that mean on the first day of class they put on the board the 26 slots that would have been available, and let the 6 pilots have their pick?
(I'm assuming out of 26 slots, all 6 pilots would probably get their top picks).

Don't believe everything that you read. While I don't know personally whether or not this happened, it sounds like BS. I think it's much more likely they wanted 26 total people for class, but only accepted 6. While most of us here at Eagle are feeling the staffing pinch, let's not forget that at least they are keeping their standards relatively high.

Read what I posted above, I was in the OCT 2 class, they were expecting 9, 8 showed, the class after me they were expecting 13, 12 showed up. Today another class started they were expecting 21, and 19 showed up.

For the past month I keep getting phone calls and e-mails for a job interview that I applied for over a year and half ago. As you can imagine, I already have a job I'm pretty happy with, but they don't seem to get it. Are they that hard up for pilots over there? I feel like I'm being stalked by some whacked out girlfriend or something.

Your application on airlineapps.com is probably still active. Maybe you applied with AE a couple of years ago. Send an e-mail to airlineapps.com and have them disable your account. I kind of had the same issue with another carrier calling me.

I spoke with a friend of mine that just got out of recurrent. According to the instructor, one of the classes this month should have had 26 show up. Only 6 did. Staffing is horrendous. Too bad we have so many people that accept the abuse. If everyone that got junior manned or extended would just fatigue, things would get fixed.

This is what I was referring to in my above post.

Which bases are the new hires getting?

When I was in the CP's office the other day turning in my two week notice, the desk was littered with returned ID's.

Littered?

That's what happened, thanks.

LOL I wondered if someone would comment on that. I like trying to use big or unusual words on messageboards to see what happens. I've got that Merriam-Webster word-of-the-day thing - it gives me "A LOT" of inspiration!

10/30 class was 15. 15 showed up.
Assignments were ORD EMJ, BOS EMJ, SJU & MIA ATR, DFW & LAX SF3.

15 showed and 15 were expected. How many did they really want? I've heard as high as 40 for each class.

Mr. I.

That's a different question. They surely want more but the point is that the rumors about half of the new hires not showing up is bogus.

Please tell me you're kidding.

You obviously haven't attended college if you consider "Littered" a big word.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

In some parts of this country, people consider "Amish" to be a pretty big word.

Mr. I.

No I'm not kidding. My eigth-grade edumacation has gotten me this far, I might as well brag about big words, like "uptight" and "holier-than-thou". Who needs a college education? Out here in the boondocks where I live, going to University is frowned upon.

How did I ever become a pilot, I wonder?

What college do you suggest for me? Do you think they might be able to help me "assimilate"?

Your embarrassing yourself. There so much wrong with what you said, I'm just gonna laugh to myself. There's an old saying though, "you don't know what you don't know." It rings quite true for you. Oh and you might want to reread what you initally responded to. I think your reading comprehension is a little off too. But it's funny that you assumed the poster meant that you were using "big and unusual words." What's more astounding is that you "wondered" if anyone would comment on your profound grasp of the english vocabulary.

I'll leave it at that.
