If you fail Eagle ground school, I don't think you pay it back.
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.
Are even LOWER minimums coming? Me thinks wet comm/multi...

I surely hope not! BTW, everyone seems to have forgotten the 1500 hour rule!! Isn't it going into effect soon?

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.

As for hiring another 350 this year, I really doubt it. The class sizes have been getting a bit smaller, and to get 350 in the rest of this year would require 45-50/class and the biggest ive seen since may was around 36... I bet 200 is a more realistic number, maybe less....

@stryker
Are the class sizes becoming smaller because the company wants it smaller because they only need so many pilots for now OR Is it because that they are not finding enough quality people to fill those classes.......

Probably because the lack of new hires. Last year after passing interview it took about 1.5 to 3 months to get into class. This year I've seen people getting the call 2 weeks later after passing interview.

I think its several things. First its probably due in part to them not having enough people to fill the classes like they would like. Second eagle is having issues accomodating the large class sizes (I.e. sim time and instructors) it is getting better but like anything else it will take time. The numbers I heard were a total of about 700 this year and 750-850 next year as well. As with anything in this industry these numbers could change at a moment's notice.
