Does anybody know what in the world is taking so long on getting official class dates for those of us being recalled? With spots open for class dates later this month, you would think they would start filling them and letting us know. But, then again its eagle....

And how much Turbine PIC time do you have? You think with the way the industry is, and when hiring resumes with tons of Captains at regionals and elswhere with mucho CA time you will be competive? My guess not. Not knocking, just a reality check. Why, because I was in your shoes, thinking the same thing as I swung the gear for many years. Even with 1000+hrs of left seat time, I couldn't get my application pulled. You never know till you try, but look at those who have been hired at those companies, and I think you will see a very small percent of those with SIC time and no ATP are very few and far between. Good luck.

Secondly not too long ago during an LEC mtg in NY a certain MEC member apparently when questioned about upcoming sec6 neg. He felt we were finished. we're too expensive. Apparently those were his words. There is a reason CHQ is still flying for AMR. So you might see why I like to look towards bigger and better things. It is what is...

Everything depends... The industry suffer more when a guy PAY FOR WORK...than someone that just want a job to start his/her career and accept a $20,000 first year salary. Right now my 2008 income as a banner and Cfi was only 10,000 and this 2009 baraly I made it to the 15,000. So for me $20,000 is a increase of money. Everything depend in your current work and if you are able to suffer a bit the $$$ for the job that will help you in the future in the majors.
Interaction with more balanced forum members on this subject is more productive.

To those hopeful applicants and lucky interviewees, remember that Eagle can be more choosy during this cycle however long it lasts. Previously, they had to fight for applicants when most regionals needed pilots and were hiring a lot more.
If you've been offered an interview, in all likleyhood your qualifications are acceptable.........and they need to fill these early classes FAST !
Once the interview is obtained, it's mostly attitude and effort.
