I spoke with Claudette the other day and was told that there are still pools of pilots at eagle. She said that they had 3 different pools. Didn't really specify what the differences were...
My guess is there is a pool for people sent to an RJ course, people hired with higher times and no RJ course, and I have no idea what the last one could be. Maybe people that never made it to an RJ course but were hired.
She said they did think that they were going to hire this summer due to attrition reasons, however it may not be till early 2010. And if they did hire it would probably be a smaller class, so most likely only people that are already in one of the pools.

Not to get all excited but I saw on climbto350 that AE is hiring FAs. I had a talk w/ some old mx buddies from cmh and lax and they said that from what they heard from ppl talking is that “eagle is really close to getting back to hiring”, not so much the frenzy of 07 early 08 but maybe a class or two…but until I get that “call” I wont hold my breath!!

The pools "expired" didn't they? I was given my letter last May and was about 3 weeks away from going to the RJ course before they stopped all classes and I believe my letter said the offer was valid for 6 months. I'm assuming I'd have to re-apply if they started hiring again, right?
I was told if they were hiring then the 6 month thing would count, but since they're not hiring it doesn't matter as long as you have your letter and have been flying... for what it's worth.
