Reduced Eagle mins & PIC?
 

With the new reduced hiring minimums at Eagle is the 250 PIC requirement still in place for those applying with 500/50? I've searched and couldn't come up with anything to explain or answer that question. They website only says "preferred."

Thanks!

How many PIC hours would someone have if they have less than 250 PIC, but have at least 500/50?

I believe we have had a few folks get on in the past with less than 250PIC. Now, the pic time will will be a factor when it comes time to upgrade, in order to meet the requirements for an ATP certificate.

anybody getting in with less than 500tt?

I am willing to bet since the announcement of the new guaranteed AA spot, those getting hired will be at least 800/100, but with that being said dont stop applying. Eagle was having trouble filling classes.

Ya followed by the news we will be spun off and parking our ATRs by 2014, I bet it drops to you must be able to breath air.

I'm not going to publish mine until I hit that 500 hour mark in the next month or two.

Don't wait. You never know, you may get a call right away. I was told by an American captain to put in my apps with the majors as a new hire here at eagle. I thought he was crazy but you just never know.

Man, these threads make me sad. How low can we go?

Okay, you'll just be working for free for 4 years as you pay off the training costs we'll incur for you to fly the shiny new jets we're getting, and after that you're free to find other work, as we may or may not pay you enough to eat, depending on the regulations we're able to lobby for by then and the demand for your line of work.
