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.
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!
Well one thing is good to know that they are hiring 800 TT guys, which means things are really starting to move..
When U refer to models like'86 or '87 are U referring to age of pilots or year of birth???
Pls excuse my ignorance, I am coming back after a long gap.....
can U shed more light on Eagle, anything that U may want to share......
