American Eagle to hire
#2391
With 59 ERJ airframes based in ORD and staffing 5 crews per plane that would mean the company wants a total of 295 ORD ERJ FOs. Currently, only 274 ORD ERJ FOs on the list. The Jan 17th newhire class had 6 OFE slots, Jan 31st class will have 5 more, and a vacancy bid just came out for 17 additional OFEs. I'd expect to see a steady diet of OFE openings for newhire classes in the next few months, maybe 3-6 per class.
So you can definitely see there is some movement already for the bottom of the list, and additionally there will be movement at the top of the list with the senior ORD ERJ FOs bidding for upgrade opportunities on the ERJ and CRJ in ORD.
Good luck on the checkride!

Fingers crossed, and I have some other solid options that I can fall back on, so I am not sweating huge bullets just yet. But R.K. said that the board had to be moved to Monday, and a few other places have confirmed that. So we shall see, I really want to make a home at Eagle, I will be beyond bummed out if I do not pass final review. I am hoping I do, I was 100% honest, have nothing bad in my closet, and I saw all the forms my employer sent in, which included a letter of recommendation.

hope so. I want to work at Eagle bad. Got a few friends there, they all love it, and live fairly well $ wise. It def takes the cake for me regional wise and my future. I also like it has the most in common overall to a major airline.
The cherry on the cake was my trip to Dallas. Was night and day from the other regionals I interviewed with.
