Holy crap! My buddy got a call from American Eagle!
 
Off of a 7 year old resume!

I got an idea......raise first year pay by just $10,000 - $15,000 a year and they might not have this problem.

Eagles pay is one of the best for first year. $24 is right up there with Air Whisky and is more than XJT's $23 an hour.

As for 7 years on the call... wow. I wonder how your friend got his resume that far down the bottom of the list??? I know plenty of people in the last year that got called in less than one week...

I think my phone area code from 7 years ago was moved to another state, and the phone company I had then has been out of business for more than 5 years... Eagle must have hired a private investigator to find your friend!!! :p

But hey, either way I wont argue with raising anyones pay 10k to 15k a year!! IM IN! :D

No, he makes $90K as a lear captain. He told the lady that his wife would probably divorce him and he couldn't make his mortgage payment for that kind of pay.

well by the time you upgrade you will be pretty far up the payscale so maybe he could get his wife and house back in ten years

I posted my resume on airline apps to AE, and within 12 hours I got an invite to interview with them. Unfornately I had to turn it down do to a family emergency, and when I called them back last week, because I spoke with them, and they told me when I was ready to call them back, they said they would get back to me.
