Do NOT cancel your Colgan class until you are sitting in class in Fort Worth. Put them off or go ahead and start there if you have to and decide whether to leave for Eagle when the time comes.
Eagle's a very good regional (relatively speaking of course, and looong upgrade time notwithstanding) but the future here is murky. Unless you just want to live in a specific base that AE has and Colgan does not, you might decide that Colgan would be better anyway.
Good luck.

I have a buddy who called to push back showtime in Memphis and Colgan wouldn't accomodate his request. I'm not sure the reason he gave, but it was a "no".
If you're not keeping anything from AE (background) you should be good to go. Eagle's upgrade time is slow but Colgan's upgrade time has slowed as well. The question is where would you rather be stuck as an FO? I personally would choose AE. 65 will come full swing which will hit American and the domino effect will help out Eagle upgrades.
Also, E145 or Saab 340??? Thats a tough one

Did you include fax numbers for your previous places of employment? That helped speed up the background check process back in the day when I came on. They need to fax forms to your previous employers to fill out and sign. I also called my previous employers to let them know to expect a call/fax from Eagle.

I have 2600TT 110ME ATP/CFI/II/MEI and 3 internal recommendations. I filled out an app back in December and continued to update it.
Same to you! When did you interview? Maybe we will be in the same class? I thought about asking Colgan if I can push the class back at least until mid or late september when I should hear back from Eagle.

Not sure. They told me it will probably be about a month before I hear anything back because of all the background information that needs to be collected.
I have a class date scheduled for Colgan but would rather be at AE so I guess I need to tell Colgan thanks, but no thanks. I just don't want to get screwed later and find out that I didn't make it pas the review board.

So, I guess you were more impressed by Eagle than by Colgan. Now let's see if we at Eagle are impressed by you.

I agree with ya Meeko. CRJ700s comment was from something that was said much earlier on the forum by FlyingPirate that I figured would have been forgotten by now since its not important and was taken the wrong way, but I guess not. People are always looking for a rise out of everyone when they're behind a computer.
anyways, congrats FlyingPirate, thats great you have a couple options. Hope it all works out for ya.
