American Eagle in ORD?
 
Hi everyone
It's the first time I am posting...I just got the "yes" from American Eagle and can now chose what base I want. Can anybody tell me what equipment I would probably get out of Chicago? And does anybody know anything about crashpads in the area???
Maybe anybody here that is based out of ORD for Eagle??
Thank you so much!!

Congratulations whiskypapa!... How was the interview? And if you don't mind my asking, what were your times? Best of luck in training.

thanks, everybody is super nice there...first technical and HR interviews...if they like you they send you to the sim. I flew a full motion Focker 100...was amazing!! First time in my life in a jet!! ;-)
They tell you right away weather you passed or not. If you do, you get the medical exam the next morning. My hours are 1500 and 250. But there were guys hired the same day with way less! They just told them to get to at least 50hrs multi before the class begins.

as someone mentioned ERJ and CRJ in ORD. if the latest vacancy bid is any indication, you will get the ERJ in ORD.

crashpads galore along the blue line.

did they did the old style FULL workup medical or just eyes...and stuff that has been reported.

You mentioned that guys were hired with way less. What were those times and why do you think Eagle told them to get another 50 hours multi? Were they just above the 100 hour mark or was it a currency thing?

no, actually their hours were way less...around 20, maybe 30 at the most. They told them to get their hours up to 50 hours before class begins. But maybe they had some kind of bachelors degree...I don't really know??

is it easy to find a crashpad? How much would they be in ORD?
