This, I'm sitting at 1225 hours and with my instructing job it will be a good 5-7 months before I will have the hours to legally work for any regional carrier, and airlines have been chomping at the bit to call me in for an interview. I have three interviews scheduled in April. Granted, none of the airlines I'm interviewing at are my top choices, but I think it shows that the industry is hurting for pilots - at least right now.

You are getting in a at a good time.
Your number one selection criteria should be, LARGE crew base in your home town, or with a short easy commute, less than 1.5 hrs flight and 20+ flights per day.
After that should be Pay and QOL.
Remember the company that looks good now in terms of pay, growth, and time to Captain, may not be good in a few years.
You cant control the direction or the management of a company.
Consider, Home town or short easy commute first, everything else is secondary and you have no control over it.

How quickly can they shrink AE is the question.
95% of our pilots have furlough protection.
Our current Captains, have Captain pay protection incase of displacements.
The only way to shrink has to be from the top. Accelerate the flow through, is the only way to shrink AE quickly.

Other than that there isn't any pay protection on our contract against displacements.

Congratulations Bellanca. That is awesome. Pick the one that affords you the opportunity to live in domicile and offers the best QOL. Like others have said, you are in a good position to be choosy.

Letter 13-02
The letter does have CA pay protection however the company has to be employing excess pilots because of. 95% protection and then. 50% are pay protected even if only 40% are actually sitting in the left seat
It's in letter 13-02 section 3

To clear up any confusion.
95% of total pilots are furlough protected.
50% of total pilots, which would be 100% of the Captains. They are pay protected.
The other 50% would be the FOs. Which obviously would not be pay protected because they are FOs.

Can you please explain furlough protection? It makes since that they couldn’t limit the flow and furlough. Outside of a flow, what does furlough protection offer? Does it mean pilots must take leave or can't pick up open time if pilots are on furlough? If Eagle had 3100*95%= 2945 pilots cannot be furloughed even if they park ships?
