1000tt seems reasonable, especially in today's market. I can understand 1500tt too and for anybody who is a CFI, or has a current flying job, that shouldn't be too hard to reach in a reasonable time frame. Any ideas what kind of multi time they might be looking for?

I don't think the airlines will look past investing in training someone who they can't expect to stay for a while. Airlines have cut costs everywhere, and they will try to get the greatest return on their investment in training they can. I was reading something the other day, i think it was eagle too, about an airline shuffling guys around in way to minimize the number of people needed to train into a new airplane. If they are minimizing costs training current employees, I cant see them turning a blind eye to the costs of training someone new. Maybe in the past, but now that airlines have streamlined so thoroughly I don't think so anymore. Look at how mesaba is doing there hiring, they aren't looking for guys that are overqualified to the point they wont be around long.

Do they know anything we don't know? Why ATR and CRJ only? No ERJ?

We'll know from the poolies first if they get called in. I don't know why they'd waste money going to these things if we weren't hiring though. I don't pretend to understand anything the airlines do in regards to 'business decisions'.

But as far as this thread goes I hope that the pool still exists. We shall see...

If they state hiring into the CRJ it could either be a generic term (CRJ - Commuter Regional Jet) or Eagle really is getting 25 more CRJs. I would like to believe the latter....but it's prolly the former.
