I know they're not interviewing anyone with less than 200 multi and 1000 tt. I have a friend who just passed the interview with 2400tt 1200me or so. I was in the pool but don't have the multi, it's all about having the multi this time around.

I can't speak for eagle but they may want a certain number of PIC time also??? 1900 ME with 2100TT sounds like a wet commercial 121 hire. I'm not saying your not a good pilot, it just doesn't seem like you could have much pic time. Good luck.

And some might say that is exactly what Eagle is looking for, someone with experience, but not enough experience to jump ship at the first available street captain position (not enough PIC for ATP cert). Never hurts to shoot in the app and see what happens!

I was hired by eagle last time they were hired and I was put into a pool. At that time I had like 500 hours with about 180 multi. Now, I have 1400 total and 215 multi and I didn't get a call. I think you need a lot of references or 135/121 experience. Im just amazed how a company (all regionals actually) hires with 500 hours at one time and then thinks that the pilots are not experienced enough to get an interview. Meanwhile bunch of those 500hr pilots are flying for them now. Does anyone see any problem with this? geez. sorry for the rant.

Supply and demand.
A couple years ago, the company couldn't get enough folks with higher times to fly for our pay. Therefore, TT dropped. Now, there are more folks on the street who have higher TTs that are looking for a job. Also, the fallout from Colgan hasn't helped much.
Sorry you haven't gotten a call.

Here is an example of low time: CO ANG F16 newbie, 100 hours in F-16, 200 hours total time. Wow. Tell me that pilots are not in short supply?
