I'm one of those "22 year olds who lack character" who will not be eligible for the ATP come next august.... I will be 23 mid september. I was at Colgan before when they closed up, now I'm at CHQ. Meet all the requirements for the rating minus the stupid age requirement. Hopefully they come out with some exemption that would allow me to fly...Although I'd be happy with a few weeks off

I'm in the same boat except I'm trying to get an interview. Been told I will get it except for the fact I won't be 23 until the first week of October.

I'm not okay with it. I have friends still at regionals, and I'm hearing companies are violating contracts right and left to get low time guys extra hours.
Where at? Definitely not where I work since I don't think I'm going to make it by the deadline.

Higher pay? Did I miss something or is this a regional thread? I agree with everything else expect for that and job protection.

How much dues did comair pilots pay ALPA? Job protection = 0.

ALPA needs to back away from the RAA.

80+ at Eagle

(Newest guy on the line has less than 700TT, as far as I can tell)

I have a friend that applied at Eagle this summer and was told he didn't have enough time; he had roughly 1150hr and over 100 multi, including some turbine time.

Are those Eagle pilots ATP graduates, or from some other bridge program?

ya, how has that been working for you the past twenty years? You telling me ALPO has done all of that? Wow, well enjoy your deep 6 figure salary, working 8 days a month till your 65. If not, just file a grievance, I'm sure they will get back to you.

The guy I was referring to may have been on ML

Are you against age 65 retirements?
