Sounds like the crj700's are up for grabs in 2014. I wonder who could operate both crj's and atr's?

Must be Surejet.

 

APA scope doesn't allow any other REGIONAL except Eagle to operate aircraft larger than 50 seats

 

Not true... AA could operate them too and that would be the only place I would want to see them go to if we do lose them.

 

Obviously they could be operated at AA. Every additional CRJ has to go there since Eagle is maxed out. I edited my original post. Does that make you happy?

 

Just interviewed with Eagle yesterday and was given the pre-offer. The gouge is spot on.

14 people in interview and only 6 got it. 4 left in the first 10 minutes, another 3-4 over the course of the next 3-4 hours.

I told them I wanted JFK CRJ-700 and they said that shouldn't be a problem to get that.

The guy who briefed us at the start said that once this 5 years retirement hits. For the next 15 years I think he said out of the like 10,000 AA pilots, something like 6-7 thousand will be forced to retiree over the next 15 years.

Glad I got the job.

 

CONGRATS on getting the Job...
If U don't mind sharing your TT & prev Job, that will help us get an Idea what's going ON.

 

601 TT, 140 ME 108 Turbine.

Citation II/V FO Part 135

Seemed like the people who didn't get it was because of their log book or they messed up on Tech.

But the gy who briefed us was really cool and expected hiring to continue and basically just said do not believe what anyone tells you on any of those forums because rumors mean nothing.

But thanks I am excited, I have to do the jet standards course but that's cool. Should know by next friday if I get the conditional after it goes for review. I don't see why not though, nothing on my record and my previous employer loved me and i busted my hump for them.

Just about everyone in there were cfi with 1000+ hours but just got there multi above 50. I was the only one with turbine besides and older gentlemen who was one of the 4 asked to leave in the first 10 minutes. Couple cute looking girls got the job along with me. :-)

 

Congrats man!!
You mention people didn't get it because of logbook issues. What are these issues?

 

To be honest I am not quite sure. It could be anything from penciling stuff in and they caught it, not totalling up their times right (I spent 10 hours of the course of 2 days making sure every column was correct in my log book.) I had slashing and line and marks ups all over the place but they seemed to be okay with. Or I could imagine that they posted they had this many house of total multi etc... on my airlineapps.com and I guess when they handed over their log books they double checked and saw they lied on airlineapps. Just don't lie about anything with them and you should be good.

Actually sorry one other thing that might have done it. They want each checkride in your logbook flagged and tabbed so they don't have to go looking for it page by page. Maybe some of others didn't do that. But i flagged the page and the put a sticky arrow pointing checkride date in my book.

Hope this helps.

 

Yes, thanks that's helpful.
One problem I found out about is I am missing a BFR sticker from a few years ago. Not sure how I am going to track down the instructor that did it.
I have also had to correct one occurence where the CFI logged MEL PIC on my 1st multi hour!
