Where did you get this information? Can you post a link to an official document stating this? or is this just another rumor?

 

It's not a rumor. There will be an MEC meeting this Saturday to determine the "hardship" criteria. Thanks for giving the junior guys the shaft once again EGL ALPA.

 

So, what could this mean for potential newhires?

 

It means you won't have a job potentially.

 

....awesome.....

 

careful banja, if you list your times on this post, there are vultures ready to call you out on being a former "2007 WET COMMERCIAL".

 

So this is the third poster I've read about non 121 guys being inexperienced. You assume that all guys who are not 121 being hired come from flight instructing. I know two who come from the corporate world who were hired at Eagle, one guy is part 135 and another part 91. Based on your Bias opinion I could assume that a Hawker pilot, Gulfstream pilot, Global pilot, BBJ pilot, Falcon Pilot, etc.... would not be able to make it thought training due to lack of experience. Yes the rules are a little different from 135 and 91 but to say that an individual is less likely to make it through based on a few people that you heard were hired is unacceptable.

If you are sitting in HR and have read each and every single resume of each and every applicant that has been hired thus far, then and only then can you pass judgment. To sit on a forum and complain because you have higher time then most being hired and can't understand why you haven't been called is useless. ATTITUDE has a lot to do with the hiring process, I never understood why my former chief pilot said he doesn’t hire former 121 but I'm beginning to understand!

 

so with this whole hardship thing are we talking no recalls/new hires...or just not 120 new hires...maybe only 60-80?

 

at the end of the day if you're given the job then take it for what it is and go to work. it's better to be the guy in class that people enjoy being around rather than the guy trying to separate the class into groups based on background. once you're there in training and on the job you're there and nothing else matters other than doing the job safely and taking care of those around you that matter.

and remember those guys in '07 and '08 may have been hired with less time and experience however they have been on eagle property a lot longer and when you're sitting there on the first day of IOE trying to figure out how to bring you're schedule up on the computer i guarantee one of them will be the first one to come over and help.

 

Bingo. I'll take 1000 CFIs who have worked their tail off to get where they are over 1 furloughed 121 guy who never CFI'd, parents have paid for everything in his/her life, and thus has ZERO work ethic. Preferably, I would like the best of both worlds.
