Sweet deal for anyone who gets the chance!

How so? This has been SOP for several months. Eagle certainly is not a sweet deal unless you live in one of their bases and don't plan to move up quickly. It is also on the auction block. They are bringing Flight Safety Academy in to try to lure those without qualifications to investigate and make early sells.

I'm confused, was I supposed to interpret the title of this thread as Eagle providing the course for low timers? Because if that's the case, I don't see where that says that in the post. Of course, it's getting late for me...

If it's not the case that they are paying for a low timer to go through the training, what's the news? I mean, ideally, wouldn't ANY regional prefer that you go through a RJ transition course? I mean, from the airlines' perspectives, a RJ course is nothing but positive, with the possible exception of having to explain to the interviewers why you, a 10k hour pilot, deemed it necessary to pay $8k for a transition course....

It's compensation, brings Eagles starting pay to a little under 29k at guarantee. Not a bad deal.

How do you figure that? I'm showing $21.600 per year at $24/hr for a 75 hour guraantee. Don't include perdiem since its not pay and you won't be getting much on reserve anyway. I make $1 less per hour at RW, but fly 10-20 hours over guarantee each month. I don't see the compensation benefit to Eagle. I had an Eagle FO in my new hire class who is making more on first year pay as a lineholder than he made on second year pay as an Eagle reserve on the -700.

Maybe it's just WAY too late for me to be awake, but can you quote me where it says that AE is going to compensate?

im pretty sure AE pays for the flight safety training but does not pay you for going through it

Previous postings on this and other boards have indicated that AE is indeed paying the ticket for some low-time pilots to go through FSI's bridge program.

Whether they're going to extend that offer to provisional hirees at this job fair isn't known.

how does that statement make any lick of sense?
