Question: (01-08-10) On Jetnet Careers it shows a vacancy for 130 FO positions.
Are these positions going to be filled by the recalls that haven't started class yet?
Is there ball number of how many Eagle plans on hiring to fill the remaining vacancies?
Response: The 130 positions are New Hire positions only.
All remaining furloughed pilots were recalled on 15 Dec and have been included in the latest Flow Plan and 56 of them have offset some of the 142 unfilled vacancies from the 13 Dec vacancy/displacement bid.
Another bid later this year should create more unfilled vacancies to round out the expected 130 new hires this year, based upon current attrition.

why would anybody want this job. i'm on my third year here and i'm still on reserve in one of the most junior bases we have. i've been displaced into three bases and continue to be the company's b****. if you get hired right now you will be on reserve indefinitaly. i'm not going to sugar coat what your getting yourself into. it's only fair you know. pay is below the poverty line. rsv people get paid way lower than a line pilot. be prepared to pay for crashpads and hotels and spend 260+ days away from your home. In a crashpad you will probably end up sleeping with 6+ people in a single room. this company isn't a family. there's 2 family's in this company. those that have been here for 15+ years and those that haven't. the senior people always have a way to belittle you and make sure you have a bad day. that's just how it is and it's not going to change.
There are jobs out there waiting for you that you might just find pride in. You need to go search for them.

Yeah dude, I've been on RSV for 2 years and you're senior to me. I can't complain about much besides commutting up to ORD. Even then, I'm back in DFW next month. If you hate it that much, pack your crap and roll. It would help me out.
For the folks coming on, you gotta learn to play the game and be prepaired to give and take. It will be more giving, but it's called a job. Better than sleeping in a tent in the middle of Saudi.

I am calling BS on this. The most junior third year guys would be from a 01/07 class and that would put you about 2145 on the list. The only three seats you that you can't hold a hard line on are LAX/DFW both CRJ and EMJ. My guess is you can hold a CMP line in both DFW seats.

He was just playing around saying that you should ask, "how long till I make captain" at the interview. It will make the old dogs laugh. Either it would make their day or immediately marr your reputation. Is your future job worth risking for a joke? I guess it depends on the joke hehe.
