Thanks to 'What' for his earlier reply ... and to the above SATCFI: I keep hearing they'll "send you home". But, specifically, what is that normally over? For example, if your TT count is 1.4 hours under or over, are you just immediately sent home? Or is about those who outright lie? I've always wondered what exactly people are talking about with that statement.
Also, aside from filling out your entire airlineapps with everything and it showing you have the minimums, is there anything else one should do in the application process?
Thanks again to all for the help.

Its hard to tell why they send people home. they will not tell you the reason. Just be as accurate and honest as possible. if your times don't come out perfect no biggie. send them an email telling them you have a little discrepancy and you looking for it. being very proactive goes a long way.
just seen a post that said its 10 years to captain...not anymore. As of july most JR CA. was 4yrs and 4 months and that's about to drop even lower.

10 year Captain to hold a line in most bases, a 12 year Captain at Eagle is considered a junior Captain. Yes, we have awarded Captain position to Pilots under 5 year seniority but they haven't been to upgrade training yet and are at least a year before holding a line but we have allot of movement and the upgrades are coming down quickly and by next summer all Pilots hired in 2007 should have the opportunity to hold an upgrade if they chose to, as long as the music doesn't stop of course.

Take this email serious. expect to hear from them in a few days. this is their warning to you that now is your last chance to make sure your application is complete, ACCURATE, and all skeletons have been revealed! Because when you show up to the interview, as desperate as it seems eagle might be...they will send you home for errors made on the application or paperwork, or things that you did not reveal that you should have.
If so, do they propose one interview date or several dates possible? And within what timeframe (2, 3 weeks?)?

It seems like it takes about a month to start class there. ATP will send you materials that you have to look over and study and there is also some IBT that needs to be completed before you get there.

Someone who was hired in 2006 is fast approaching 6 years at Eagle unless he was hired in late 2006 then he is at 5. I don't think we have anyone or that many "on line in the left seat" who has been at Eagle under 5 years because the guys from the July Vacancy bid are either entering training or waiting for class since the earliest they could have entered training was Sep and as we know things aren't moving that fast in the training center.
I said guys under 5 years seniority are the ones awaiting training. The guys who were hired in late 2006 early 2007. And your friend might be on the line be he is not "holding a line".

Just curious, was your app update one that took you to the 51 Multi? Or was it just a single engine time update?

How does vacation bidding work? According to the contract, you get just over a day vacation if you have not worked a full year at Eagle, for every month you have been here. That means I should get almost a week for next year. I see the Vacation bid packet out and the days available. How do I bid for those days? What if I want half of one block and half of another? Thanks for any help in advance.
