Yeah that's the most important thing to know, what is TT for those getting hired or class dates recently, that is how we will know the trend......
Is Eagle really picking up guys at 800 TT or is it just to attract more resumes & apps & then choosing from them, who to call.........
Also, is there any other bases for ATR or is only SJU

HI
Did U join the 4/11 class.... What A/C did U chose, ??
Do U know what kind of TT people had who were selected.....
Guys pls correct me if I got it correct or if I am missing something........
That choosing ATR is better, one is locked in for only 1 year & if more people leave after a year, which means more people who are senior to you leave ATR , that means when U are 4 or 6 or 8 months senior, you are like at 2 years seniority as compared to CRJ/EMJ, then U have a chance of faster upgrade at ATR, if U stick to ATR
Is this correct or everyone else also thinks that way & picks ATR.....

Oh...if you fly the rj as an FO and your seniority cannot hold the rj and you bypass the class your salary get stuck until you upgrade.
Just pick by base not by equipment, if you are senior enough to choose equipment and base. If you are '86 to '87 model or below most likely your get the ATR somewhere.
I was lucky to choose any of the 3 planes ('87 model here).
Apr 11 class most junior guy to pick a jet was a '86 model.

Well it seems that most of the folks I know that are non military seem to get on with mainline carriers after being a regional CA. Not to say you can't get the time else where, or they don't consider non 121 folks.

ERMMM... seniority is seniority, you might get a line faster in the ATR but those guys that move from the ATR to the jet in your 1 yr seat lock will get the upgrade before you. Upgrades are by seniority not by airplane seniority.

Yes they are picking 800hrs guys. I've heard that some of them are not passing training and got washed out. So be prepared and study a lot!

When U refer to models like'86 or '87 are U referring to age of pilots or year of birth???

How much flying are U getting.....
I'm flying every day that I've been on reserve. Getting close normally to the max hrs can be flow. (30 in 7 days, 100 in last 30 day)
I'm averaging about 80 to 90 a month.
Did U get a line yet.....
No way I can get a line in 2 months... Actually I could get one in SJU ATR or DFW ATR. It going to take me at least 4 to 5 months to get a composite line. Which is a combination between reserve days and line trips.
How's life as a new hire from your perspective......
Life as a new hire is not bad, we have a couple of nice overnights, a lot of flying, and fun. Payment is enough to survive every month. Per Diem is the extra money that you can save for the future.
If you know someone in one of the bases and you can stay at their place it will be easier for you for that 1st year. Bid by base and try not to commute...
