No, it's a key you'll get when you do your base visit. There's another door close to the security check point where you don't need a key. However,I'm not about to post on a public forum that door or it's means of entry. Try checking on JetNet -> AE Pilots & "Base Info" for DFW. Lots of useful info there.

A properly staffed airline isn't supposed to use many reserves. The ATR staffing is fine if you ask me, although my last few months on it I wasn't able to drop ANYTHING!

Jet side is still super short. Fortunately with the reduction in recall class sizes at AA, Eagle should be able to catch up before the next batch of FTs go (which looks to be December now). Then maybe we can get PVDs and drop/trade requests approved for once.

I don't know Andy. December isn't that far away. I'm going to go with no soup for you! 2 weeks!

Company pays for the class and provides transportation. I am on my own for hotel and expenses for the week. After passing the ATP class I would get scheduled for a training class and get paid.

why for OCT are there so many FO TDYs from DFW to JFK but 2 less lines? Are we going to have 20 guys on reserve in a base that has 26 lines? That sounds stupid.

How's Eagle doing meeting their hiring projections? I've heard the pool of qualified/trainable applicants is starting to dry up for them

Been hearing that since spring. Doubt it will be a problem with the lowered minimums.

It is a problem. Some of them have been given the "option" to resign during training. Wonder why?:rolleyes:

Wow, that's no good so what's the failure rate over there?

Quite a few are bouncing out of training. I would say it's averaging close to 1 per class from what i've heard and seen being at the schoolhouse the last month.
