guys at my old school have gotten hired below 500tt with AE, Eagle has a training contract with Flight Safety... you prove you can fly the emb 145 for 50 hours then eagle sends someone down to give a checkride, after that they throw you in one of their classes. Done deal, ASA hires Below 300tt, exj 400tt, and transstates 300tt.... you get hired first then you do the training. no risks or gimicks
