Any idea when the new mins will be announced? Also is it true that the interview is a two day process?

1) I don't know personally what the 'new mins' will be, someone else might.
2) Interview is a 1 day process but most people have to fly in to DFW the night before; but the actual interview (H.R, Tech & Sim) is a one day affair. You'll probably know you made it or not by 2-3pm.

After you are given the green light on the day you will receive a pre-conditional offer of employment which means you are being considered PENDING your PRIA and other background checks.

Make sure you declare all check fails and DUIs the WILL find out. I had two FAA and one 141 stage fail....no problem (+ a bunch of 135 check rides and all checks since these training hiccups are passes). Just be honest and tell them what you discovered about yourself when you failed.

After 2-3-4 weeks you will get a call from Hiring Manager saying "congrats" and off you got to do your medical (2 pee tests, 1 hearing test). After this you are all good to join a ground school, which start every 2 weeks.

1) Hiring interview ( 1 day)
2) Background checks
3) Medical exam

I did a bunch of 121/135 interviews and Eagle was BY FAR the most professional, organized, polite and open group of people. Very pleasant experience IF YOU STUDY. Read the gauges they are 110% accurate.

If you get the interview then the job is yours to give away. Don't be dumb - study!

Yes that's the process.
I my case I went to the review board and they said everything was good but I needed to get 50 more hours of flight time or take a 10 hour instrument refresher on a crf at ATP. I opted for the latter because it will help alot with the sim ride. I didn't have alot of recent flight time so if you're coming back after a layoff of some sort, expect this.

Edit: I went to a job fair and talked with the hiring folks. That's how I got the interview.


Did you get hired be us since we've been hiring within the past year?

Has anyone with previous 121 experience interviewed recently? Im just curious if the interview questions changed for you? IE aircraft systems.

Nope. Not for me. I was asked questions on my last aircraft flown (part 135).

Well thats kind of my question, I just worded it poorly. I flew 121 but my last aircraft flown since then was a 172. Im curious as to which systems to study? Obviously im hoping for a 172 since its almost been 2 years since the CRJ.

My interview is coming up really soon, I dont wanna jump the gun here but pending everything goes smoothly I wanted to get some opinions from people currently flying for Eagle about bases and commuting. Im orginally from south florida and would like to get back down their. I really dont care what airframe I end up with but the crj would be nice! How difficult would it be to get CRJ/ORD and commute out of MIA, if even possible? Or CRJ anywere and commuting out of MIA for that matter.

If I were you, I would pick ATR MIA, you'll be at home, same pay that the CRJ and you don't have to comute.

When you get 1 year, then bid the CRJ and get a new life living in ORD.

Just my 2 cents... ;)

MIA to ORD is not a bad commute AA have like 4 flights a day...
