Its getting to the point where there just arent enough applicants for Eagle, and they will need to find a new way to attract applicants. Even lowering the mins wont help much now... it should start to get really interesting.

Were you asked any airplane-specific systems questions?

Also- not much on RVR in the aim... any other study guides for that?

Check your PMs ;)

Hmmm not true. My wife and I traveled EVERY MONTH for the first 2 years I was at Eagle. We went to Canada, Mexico, Japan and all around the United States. I moved RSV days around and of course used vacation days. Only slowed down after the second year because she was pregnant. My daughter, wife and I have been on at least 12 flights since my daughter was born...and I was still on reserve. It's all about planning.

I would strongly urge you to get it, you can do it online, google/this forum search will yield some good quick online directions to get it. It came in like 5 days for me.

I think you can print up a temp ASAP (dont quote me) but you wont get an interview without one, i believe.

lol, I realize this post doesn't help at all.

Must have proof that the FCC License has been ordered, must bring the original or receipt of order to the interview but will need the original to meet the review board and must bring it to the first day of class...

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 03:51 AM.
