Minimum age for aEagle?
Hey guys, kind new to this forum I'm 19 and have been playing the CFi game out of N14 and KVAY since the summer... Ive been talking to alot of people from various regionals and have a contact at eagle where i can get my resume personally handed in... Now i"m hoping that they will be hiring again around april/may (I know there has been speculation!) because thats when i'll have enough multi to be slightly competitive and I'll be finished with this A&P school im going to for college credits and a backup plan.... It says on their website that the minimum age to apply is 21 but my one contact from eagle USED to hire pilots and do interviews for them... when i asked him if my age would be a factor he said he hired quite a few 19 and 20 year olds and he even hired one 18 year old which i could hardly believe so anyone know if this 21 age mark thing is actually enforced or is it bull*hit... also anyone know if there is a minimum age for AWAC Skywest or any other regionals?? P.S ill be 20 in April but that shouldn't really help much..

Go somewhere where you can upgrade in a reasonable amount of time. The only thing that holds any weight on future resumes is "Turbine PIC" SIC time is almost worthless, and you will get loads of that if you decide to go to Eagle.

Just stop right there. The "used to" part is where it stops. Just like they "used to" hire 300 hour pilots. Does it mean hiring low time, or that hiring under 21 will not ever happen again; no. But for now, it ain't happening.

Is PIC time better? Yes, absolutely... but that doesn't mean you can't/won't be hired without it.... it just means you need alot (ALOT) more SIC time to be hired than if you had PIC time.

Really? Do you have any idea how many Eagle FO's bailed over the last several years to mainline company's with only SIC time? Probably not, or you wouldn't make the statement.
