Eagle Desperate

[H46Bubba]

It means they're really hurting for pilots! They must be willing to soften the mins to meet their hiring needs depending on the level of experience the applicant has.

Think a 42 year old Engineer with 300/0 would have a chance???

What do you mean a pay cut??? I was told by (insert flight academy here) that I would be making six figures my first year!

Only if they will hire a 30 yrs old Navy veteran/airline mx controller with 400/0 too!:buck:

The hiring is still going full swing... I am waiting for my class date from them. July 9th for me hopefully. (what really sucks for me is that my current airline found out that I interviewed so I had to turn in my 2 weeks before having a solid class date)

I interviewed with 8 guys. 8 made it to the sim. I am not sure how many offers were given. (7 conditionals were handed out with the medical) Having had 121 experience the interview was a breeze for me... mostly just "we know you already know (insert concept here) - so let's ask you a couple of small, easy questions because we have to." Whereas I was expecting... "What is the Torque limitation on the B-1900D?", "Describe exemption 3585 and tell me if I can go based on this departure and destination weather... Do I need an alternate? A second alternate?"

They are still letting you pick a base. (LAX and the SAAB for me - I don't want to give up my hand flying and I am sick of commuting 1/2 way across the country on reserve)

It seems like a awesome place to work and I am going to be happy living and flying at home.

I'd love to fly ATR's out of SJO for a year. Seriously, sounds freaking awesome.

What is the age limit to start with Eagle?
What was the oldest pilot to start with them?:yeahthat:

 

[crashmbern]

we had a 57 year old in our new hire class. but he washed out in the sim.

Kind of off topic on the hiring but I just found out that they have a Bridge Program now with Lewis University also.

I think most of the airlines are now wanting to start bridge programs with a lot of the universities and flight schools; my flight school I attend has gotten a couple calls, Pinnacle the latest, that wants to start a bridge program.

My old flight instructor is flying out of MIA in the ATR to SJU all the time and Eagle has had him based in SJU for 1 month at a time with a big pay bonus for the month to stay down there. I believe in November his seat-lock runs out and he can bid for a base/plane he wants.

Have the upgrades sped up much yet?
