800/100 or near these mins.
700 pilots in 2007

Where are they going find that many pilots? There aren't many Americans in flight schools these days.

Not knowing where you'd be based or what equipment was a huge turn off for me. I heard they are addressing this issue somewhat.

It looks like the steps they are taking to correct their problem is going to take time. They say it's going to bring down the upgrades but we won't know any time soon. As far as base prefference, I think it's a lost cause, 1999 most junior captain is just brutal for a regional airline. I'd give it a few more months untill they drop to commercial and multi.

I wouldn't count on it. Even though they need folks badly they are sticking to their guns in the interview. Many who interview still don't make it. Study the Gleim ATP book, there's no excuse for busting the written. Good luck.

Hey Short Bus what do you mean when you say passing the Sim Ride & Medical at Eagle?

If you haven't already heard, AA/AE does an astronaut candidate style medical for the new hires. They pretty much check everything, takes a long time.
