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

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.

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?
