Do U know what kind of TT people had who were selected.....
Guys pls correct me if I got it correct or if I am missing something........
That choosing ATR is better, one is locked in for only 1 year & if more people leave after a year, which means more people who are senior to you leave ATR , that means when U are 4 or 6 or 8 months senior, you are like at 2 years seniority as compared to CRJ/EMJ, then U have a chance of faster upgrade at ATR, if U stick to ATR
Is this correct or everyone else also thinks that way & picks ATR.....
ERMMM... seniority is seniority, you might get a line faster in the ATR but those guys that move from the ATR to the jet in your 1 yr seat lock will get the upgrade before you. Upgrades are by seniority not by airplane seniority.
Oh...if you fly the rj as an FO and your seniority cannot hold the rj and you bypass the class your salary get stuck until you upgrade.
Just pick by base not by equipment, if you are senior enough to choose equipment and base. If you are '86 to '87 model or below most likely your get the ATR somewhere.
I was lucky to choose any of the 3 planes ('87 model here).
Apr 11 class most junior guy to pick a jet was a '86 model.

Is Eagle really picking up guys at 800 TT or is it just to attract more resumes & apps & then choosing from them, who to call.........
Also, is there any other bases for ATR or is only SJU
Yes they are picking 800hrs guys. I've heard that some of them are not passing training and got washed out. So be prepared and study a lot!
