American Eagle or Comair??
I have interview offers with both AE and Comair. Not sure where AE is heading due to AE being sold. Anybody have any insight for me?? Upgrade time scale? Quality of life?

Anywhere you go its going to be a gamble... so it's a tough call but I don't think Eagle will be sold, shrunk maybe but not sold. You need to consider where you're going to be based and which company is going to offer the better QOL. Eagle is hiring about 30 a class twice a month, which for the size of this company is not a whole lot. Upgrade is long!!!

I'm really interested in AE because they will let me choose my base (really want ORD). Not too worried about upgrade time. What does it mean to the pilots if AE is going to be "shrunk" or "sold" Do we still have job security?? etc.... I'm just getting done working aerial survey (1000TT 65ME by the time i'm done) so i'm not too keen on the airline life yet. any advise?

just saw your post at the Comair update thread. I would interview at both then most assuredly choose Comair. if you don't get selected at Comair, you could go to Eagle. Comair takes about a week for the yea or nay, Eagle will let you know the same day, provided you pass the Captain review board and background check.

So About a week and a half after submitting my resume' i could interview! Keep in mind that I used airlineapps.com I think this helped me a lot. I published my application/resume' on airlineapps on Sunday and have 3 interview offers already.

What are your times?
I'm only at 450/50 CFI CFII MEI w/ an eagle internal rec.
I know I know I should keep instructing, but the feast famine pay is nuts, plus the company is about a month from going out of buisness.
Haven't heard back from eagle, I've only done the app no resume.

I used airlineapps.com and had an interview offer within 14 hours after "publishing" my application on airlineapps.com
I'm pretty sure AE minimums have dropped to 350/50. My AIM is SnwBrdSims
