Careful-read your contract. There is a stipulation that says either if you fail ATP school, you have to pay the $5k they paid on your behalf back or if you fail out of Eagle ground school you have to pay it back. I can't remember which scenario it is, but just something to consider.

I think if you fail ATP or quit Eagle after your hire date, you pay it back. There might be a couple other stipulations, but I thought I read something about NOT having to pay it back if you wash out of Eagle training.

So a friend told me the first day of indoc Eagle people said they need to hire 350 more pilots before years end. My question is how, and where they'll find these pilots? The same guy interviewed with 13 people and was the only one hired.

¿Que?........
ERJF15,
I think "What" was referring to the FAA's rest/duty rule. Its final rule was due to be released Aug 1, 2011--but was delayed (until November/forever) due to FAA budget/political pressure/business pressure (from 135/cargo operators?). I don't know all the background, and being a new hire, I don't have an informed opinion on this industry's rest rules (yet)...but it seems like FAA delays on rest/duty reform = business as usual on this issue.
