Does Eagle really only require 200 XC?
I posted this question earlier in a different place but didn't find what I was looking for.
The AE careers page says 200 XC. APC.com says "ATP minimums & written." My friend at AE says that the employee referral page says 500 XC.
So which is it? Help!
I'm at 1250 TT/200 XC. The rest are met. Like others, I'm flying my @ss off, but building XC way to slowly. If AE really only requires 200 XC (R-ATP?), I could stay where I'm at until 1500 TT. (No college degree yet.) If they need 500 XC, then I've gotta start sniffing out a 135 job...
I understand that a 135 job hauling cargo is likely the best route for building experience/confidence, but I can't help but feel a certain amount of pressure to get on the front end of this hiring thing. (Please, no lectures. I get it.)
