A new special would also show airlines like Eagle can't attract anyone but those same pilots. They are now planning to cancel all vacations over the summer and probably into the fall, make 90% of their trips 4-day trips, some with only two days off in between and crack down on sick calls and fatigue calls. After they are sold off, the entire airline will probably collapse leaving American desperate for feed.

Rough days ahead for the country's third largest airline corporation and worse for their regional airline.

Fresh haircut, suit, shirt, tie, shoes, check. What is it with the staring contest? Ever stare down your cat? I always win however one can make certain that you sit up straight, one leg crossed, I usually touch my fingertips together, keeps me from making hand gestures.

There's no magic to it. Be yourself. Have your records in order. Be courteous and polite to everyone you meet. Let them see you would be a good employee and someone they'd like flying with for four days. No one wants to be in a cockpit with a jerk for that long which might explain why so many mainline pilots aren't being hired by regionals. :p

Mainline pilots
 

Mainline pilots are not getting hired by the regionals because they will not submit themselves to the indentured servitude that a 23 year old with 1000 hours will.

You can be sure that when you are being interviewed by a line captain, he is asking himself, "would I want to be in the cockpit with this person for a month?"

Applied to Eagle through Airline Apps, nothing, not even a pulse. Have several others lined up, this is a very good thing.

The Colgan crash set that plan back by 10 years. We may see it one day, but the days of offering right seat to 250 hour wonders is on the back burner for now.

Its not on the Back burner at Pinnacle, we have agrements with some aviation schools with 250 hr guys coming in some are in class right now. They dont even have to interview with pinnacle.

Try 190. The agreement with my alma matter states that the applicant needs the minimum requirements for a commercial certificate, which is 190 hours for our 141 program. Pretty scary, but I can't blame anyone for jumping on it. Fly safe out there!

There aren't any 250 guys in class right now. The lowest time in the class that started on 2/28 is 1000hrs. I have heard that they are going to be getting some of these guys in the class on the 14th.
