Just want to talk to someone who is flying for American Eagle out of DFW, what is schedual like and does anyone live other than DFW,and commute?

I was also told that most likely would get Saab-340, I am excited about trying to do this, I have only waited 10 years. Going to get My CFI reinstated at ATP,and was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to take the CRJ-200 course?, flow's,FMS,CRM. I think I have the time 1200-100Me. Just got to get back into the air.

I just dont know what expect, I would like to Talk to anyone !!!!!!

Thanks

 

In todays regional hiring market there is no reason to take such a course. Get current and go apply.

 

Read above post! I thought you had already gotten the job..........either way let the airlines teach you the flows etc..............no need to waste the money

 

Egl is Stable and the last class DFW guys got the EMJ!!!

 

woo hoo! woo hoo! emj!!!!

get on the CRJ so you can fly with Tiny and all those old curmudgeon Texans at DFW....

 

Don't waste your money on the CRJ course. If you have the money to blow then it may help you to be more confident in training and you possibly wouldn't have to work as hard as everyone else but it is a gamble. Each company does things their own way and it may conflict with what you already learned at your CRJ course. Actually it most likely will and the last thing you want to do in training is tell your instructor, "But they said to do it this way at my CRJ course." You will make a complete ass of yourself by doing that.

I know a guy who did the CRJ thing at Jet University and severely regrets wasting a ton of money once he realized he had to relearn things the airline's way. Jet University are crooks just like Gulfstream. Let the foreigners fall for their training programs and stay far far away.
ATP is more respectable but they still want your money and will tell you what ever it takes to get it so take it with a grain of salt.

The regional airlines today need decent pilots ASAP. Don't waste your money, just get in there and GET PAID to be trained their way. Good luck.

 

If you are experienced in RJ's and get hired by Eagle, will they assure you an RJ position?

 

Airlines do not normally do this, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. But if you insist on the CRJ you might not get hired...

Actually at eagle IIRC equipment assignment used to be done by seniority in your new-hire class. I'm not sure their union contract allows the company to make arbitrary assignments, although some airlines do.

 

Yes.
By chosing your base.
i.e ORD its only RJ's & CRJ;s therefore you are guaranted a jet slot.
