What I found interesting about the airplane was once you touched down, it loved to dance around after you put the props into reverse, with the added combo having a high wing, trailing link gear, and lots of rudder input to keep it on centerline, it made you work hard for a good landing.

DayTripper12, I'm not referring only to Eagle, there have been quite a few that have gone down/had incidents due to icing conditions, don't quote me though.

hey do we know if eagle has any issues with applicants hours being a mix of CFI/Traffic watch? I know some companies don't count traffic watch or pipeline patrol as hours.

QUESTION!

If a pilot has long term training the 13th, or 14th..does that pilot still get to bid for a monthly schedule of his soon to be former equipment?

for example DFA awarded DFE...does he/she get to bid for Feb on the ATR, even though they're leaving halfway through the month? Is there a date cutoff?

What about a guy starting EARLY in the month? (first week)

can't find it in the contract..hoping someone here knows!

I use to have tons of people tell me flying jumpers would never get me a job at an airline, and that airlines hate it etc, it was worthless time. Well 900 hours/14 months later I got interviews at 5 regional's and offers from 4. Needless to say, most of those people are still CFIing and never got the ME time for a regional interview.
