EOS Pilots
 

I just took a job with EOS Airlines...Anyone out there who is with them got any info?
What sort of schedule is typical?
How is the commute i.e. Jump seat privaledges etc ?
How many trip are you making in a typical month?

Respectfully, wouldn't you know more about the schedule and trips if you just took the job? I'd like to hear more too. Do you have a 757/767 type?

I have not started yet...leave next week. No I do not have a type...all militray time.
I only know what they said in the interview.

Eos
 

T1 Guy, I too just have military time , mostly fighters - will that work with Eos?

Military time is fine...they are more concerned on whether you are a good guy who likes to be around people who are expecting excellent service.

Lots of Laughs! Using the phrase "good guy" and "excellent service" is a joke even for you Shane.

BTW, good job snowing the EOS hr dept.................maybe you'll get to fly with only females like in your AETC days!?

Good Riddens

I heard EOS actually got $75 million in new financing. That'll keep them around for at least 2 more years.

I saw a news article that EOS was looking at service from JFK to Paris and/or Zurich. Also service from other un-named US cities.

They $75 mil would be for expansion. There load factors are more than ample to keep them sustaining. As the same with Maxjet

T-1A Guy,
 

Any news on how EOS is doing or if they are still looking for folks? How's training going? Thanks for any info you have.

The word I am hearing...we should be hiring very soon. My guess is interviews will start in the Jan-Feb time.

Hey Sandman,

If you are going to use names and throw mud....have the balls to identify yourself! Although if it is who I am thinking of...this is pretty much your style. I remember you as an abusive, power hungry AETC instructor that word is...did not like girls. Stab anyone in the back lately at FEDEX?

Little off-topic, eh guys? Some history lesson we should know about?

I will just say...some people should move on from the past!

T-1A Guy,

Thanks for the reply, did you go through training already--where is it located, pay, timeframe? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

T-1A guy,

No, I loved my wife and kids too much than to lose that by screwing around with AF students - which btw is an abuse of a supervisior's authority, punishable under the UCMJ.

Adios Shrimp!

Wow,

I must have had a good time back then. Trouble is you are full of crap...so keep your lies to yourself.

Getting back to the point we look at this site!

C122135,

Finished training some time ago, just finished IOE. The company is really great about paying for everything. $3,000 a month + $20 a day per diem while in training. They pay for your hotel during indoc and gave us a rental car to share. Type training was in Minni and you share a two bedroom appartment type hotel room and they re-imbursed the guys that brought their own cars for mileage. After your check ride in the sim you go on full pay...$65/hr.
What else would you like to know?

T-1A Guy.

How can I send an app or resume to them?

I would log on the site and send a resume to the HR dept. We are a small comany and you will find that you will receive individual attention. Let me know if you have any problems.

T-1A Guy,

Do you have to live near JFK or are there bases to choose from? Did you find out what the typical schedule is like or are you on a reserve at first?

Did you have to have an ATP or just the written to apply; I would think the type would be to ATP standards?

Thanks again for the info.

C212135,

Allcrews are JFK based...I commute from TX. You will need a crash pad if you do not live local. Typical schedule is 3 or 4 day trips to the UK, some charters all over the place. you can plan on 4 trips a month with 3 days of reserve (hence crash pad). You will need an ATP, the company pays and sends you to get your 757 type. At the moment all new hires are as Captains in the 757, although with current growth plans we will be hiring FO's soon.

T-1A guy, do they require a lot of heavy jet experience or would someone with a fractioncal background have a chance at an interview

I would say that your time would be fine...as long as it is turbine time. If you live in the area I would go to the HQ and ask to be shown around and express your interest.

Ask for "Beowulf" when you go in the office.

He's the Fleet Manager.

T-1A Guy,

Do they pay for the commute, or do they have agreements? Also, to get hired as Captain off the street, do you need time in type or just international heavy jet time to be considered? Thanks again.

C212135,

Commute is on your own....we do have agreements with lots of carriers...CASS is coming soon I am told. No type is needed, intl heavy time would help.

what is the flight time they tend to look for in a new hire

Wait.....you are accusing Sandman of not liking girls? Have you SEEN his avatar?

Are you short-sighted or what?

Why did EOS change it's call signe from EOS to "NO DON" (pardon the spelling?)

I think it has always been "New Dawn". EOS is the greek goddess of the Dawn.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I was absent from school when they covered Greek Mythology.

Actually the "new dawn" call sign was not the first choice. IACO or whomever approves call signs would not allow "EOS" saying it sounded to much like "Helios" or whatever from Greece. I may be wrong but somewhere it was said that "New Dawn" was about the fifth choice.

T-1A Guy,

what is the captains pay like?

Hmmm... I thought I heard them use the EOS call sign in the beginning of their operations when coming into EGSS. Probably old age setting I guess.

Didn't Helios change their name to AJet?

First year Capt pay is $110/hr, however, you can expect to be paid as an FO for the first year or so $65/hr. At the moment all guys hired are direct Capt hires and can fly in either seat. If you get called to fly as the Capt....you get Capt's pay, otherwise you bid as a FO.

What is EOS airlines

Is there a pay scale for EOS posted on this site. I could not find anything

do they still plan on hiring this year?
