By the way.... I know a guy who busted two 121 PCs.... Maybe more in a previous life.... FO and no TPIC..... Hired at USairways..... Then quit a few moths back and in this same year UAL hired him...... Guess it must really have hurt his chances....
Also just confirmed a formee gojets DUI guy got on with one of the above too..... Not saying I'd want either on my records but for AE to turn their nose to a PPL oral bust or a CSEL practical bust says more about AE then an applicant...... No ones perfect.

Eagle may just be turning away candidates they don't want. Even though Eagle may be desperate, I don't think it means they'll take everyone. Concern with PRIA type stuff might be stronger at Eagle though as before the Colgan accident and those issues, another airline had a disturbing similar accident with all the same issues and was the accident that resulted in PRIA. That airline WAS an American Eagle operator.

It WAS a wholly owned operator - Flagship Airlines - which later was one of the four wholly owned AE carriers to be merged into the present AE. AE has a particular aversion to bust partly because it was one of THEIR captains that failed to disclose busts in his previous flying life and who later crashed a perfectly good Jetstream into the forest. PRIA came about as a result of that accident. I was an FO at AE at the time and remember it well.

Oh hey, another thread on Eagle.
Are they desperate? They just announced that they will give TWO free round trip tickets for a student and parent to go visit a school offering a degree in aviation.
American Airlines & American Eagle are proud to sponsor the Dallas/Fort Worth Focus on the Future sessions for students and parents and a Regional Airline Pilot Job Fair for qualified pilots. All CFIs are invited. As part of their goal to offer additional opportunities for students seeking a career as a pilot, American Airlines and American Eagle are providing two free round-trip tickets for a student and parent to visit a college or university offering professional pilot degrees.

I have two busts and was offered a job at every airline I interviewed at including AE. Maybe I just interview well, but of the 14 that showed up to interview at AE that day, only 3 of us made the cut.
Oh yea, at the time I had approx 700 hours and no TPIC.

I think you're issue is you'll jump ship in 6 months when Delta or United start calling. They don't want to invest in someone if they won't get their money back.
