Default Job opportunities at ERAU Job fair

The last 2 days in ERAU have been full of job options, like every year the school organized a fair where they invited a wide range of aviation companies to bring their employees search to campus.

This year we have everything, from Boing to Eurocopter and from FBO’s to Lockheed Martin. For us pilots we have almost all the big reginals and a couple of the legacies.

I was amused and some what scared with the minimums that some of these reginals had. Mesa for example had no minimums (only multi commercial). A lot of the other reginals waved or lowered their minimums if you had the ERAU CRJ course (FA 420), that was the case of ASA (lowered to 250 TT/25 multi), airlink (from 1,000TT to 0 ) and so on.

But the best deal (I think) was not found in the fair. The university created a pilot program with Spirit Airlines, in which 8 students (graduating this December) will be selected (GPA 3.5 or higher only and ERAU CFIs) to go to A320 line as FO’s. If the program is successful the idea is to implemented every semester (it will depend in the performance of these 8).

So in conclusion, if you want to be a pilot this is your time. If you are already in training keep the motivation, if you haven’t start there is a lot of light in the tunnel for now so make it happen!!!.

Go Eagles
PD: CFI need is desperate around the country , I saw some non invited companies asking CFI's if they were interested in go to their schools to work.
