Surprisingly no MIA (ATR or EMJ) in this class?
Old guy here, with lots of time, trying to get back into flying.
Looking for MIA F/O slot in either plane.
Hope to get it straight out of GS.
I heard they have your assignment before GS starts?
Looks like I should be the most senior in my class, if it is still done by DOB...
Any chance of postponing GS, to get desired base at a later date?

Thanks everyone for the very informative posts.

Yea, I was surprised that there werent any openings for MIA ATR in the Feb 14 class(they did have 4 SJU and 4 DFW ATR slots), but we have a class starting on Feb 28 and I bet there will be a few slots in that one. So far the projected slots for Feb 28 are:

5 DFA (Dallas FO ATR)
2 NFE (NYC-LGA FO EMJ)
8 OFC (Chicago FO CRJ)
8 OFE (Chicago FO EMJ)

Typically the class sizes have been in the 30-40 range, but this one looks like it might be a bit smaller. I think they are getting into some logistics issues with stuff like running out of hotel rooms for everyone, not enough sim/ground instructors, not enough simulators (especially CRJ). Also there will be a fairly big bunch of CRJ CA and EMJ CA upgrades starting on the 28th as well (less room for newhires).

The vacancy bid that you quoted above will close on the 27th, so there might be some last minute changes to the Feb 28th newhire openings depending on who bids what. I'm thinking there will be a few more MIA ATR slots and less DFW ATR. As for MIA EMJ FOs I am betting they will wait another month or so until they start offering that to newhires since they have just begun building up the base. The initial MIA EMJ base opening was Feb 1 with 50 crews, in June there will be another ~20-30 crews transferring in, and they will need to have some newhire EMJ FOs starting online at that same timeframe.

I know they send out an email about 2 weeks prior to class with the projected available slots. Usually it is pretty accurate, with a few small changes on the morning of class. They dont have a system set up where you can defer a class until you get what base/equip you prefer, but there is so much movement that you will be able to put in a request for base transfer to MIA and you have a good chance of being in MIA within 1-3 months after you finish training.

The newhire seniority is done by DOB, so you will have that working to your advantage! As long as you chose EMJ or ATR you will have no problem transferring to MIA.

We have a fairly experienced pilot group (relative to other regionals) and are always looking to add to that. I hope things work out and you can get online in MIA asap. Good luck!

What did they change?

 

I'm asking me the same question....

I don't see any change.

 

Nothing has changed except it goes a little further in depth... I.E. 250 hrs PIC, a current flying job, FCC license etc.

Also the Common Requirements for Eagle's most "Successful Candidates" -I take that to mean what the would "prefer" candidates to have.

 

I'd prefer to win the lottery tomorrow, but doesnt mean that will happen either
