Rumors of Eagle Hiring

Unofficial Furlough Recall Stats:

71 Furloughed.

01 DECLINED, 5 PENDING, and 65 ACCEPTED.

I'm not sure if the declined recall was a resignation or not.

With the latest Vacancy Bid, it seems Eagle may be posturing to hire in 2010.

Those wishing to apply should acquire the following:

FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's Permit

Currently Class 1 Medical. (Class 2 Required for FO's on the line, but I think they require this at application. A nice fresh one looks good. I know a great DME in the DFW area if anyone needs one.)

CMEL Cert. Likely ATP level hours or better. This is pure speculation on my part, but if you're close, making sure your resume is current can't hurt. The worst they can say at this point is no, right? (Please don't PM me asking if if your particular number will do. I have no idea!)

Current US Passport. Eagle pilots regularly fly short- to medium-haul international ops. This is a must-have.

Current, correct LOGBOOK. Yep, they want to see this. They'll ask you to mark checkrides, etc.

Suitable interview attire. Show up in blue jeans or not wearing a tie, etc, and see how long you last. They turned away people for this during the hiring boom.

Letters of recommendation: You might start hitting up people you've flown with or that have resumes that would make them a good person to recommend you, etc.


I have no idea exactly when, or even for sure IF Eagle will hire.. nor do I know how many and under what conditions will Eagle hire pilots.


... but in the interest of helping fellow JCer's, I thought I'd drop this word here.

And please.. no PMs about my opinion of your personal Total/Multi time chances. I don't mind it so much, but I have no real answer for it, so it doesn't do any good. Not to mention my personal politics about people with rock-bottom times with sky high expectations. If you've been paying attention, you know how I feel about that. People disregarding this request will be sent applications for Sallie Mae loans and Gulfstream's Right Seat Direct program. ;)
 
Wow, look's like lots of guys accepted the recall. That's great! More than I expected really. Would be great to see Eagle hiring this Spring.
 
I know this has been beaten to death...

I wonder whats going to happen (but doubt its still there) about the hiring pool and all of us who took the jet course (not that it matter, but the fact that they spent money on us)

I would love to re-interview!!!!
 
That one decline could have been an earlier deferal and could possibly still accept by the end of the year and come back. Then again, it could be an actual decline which would mean being removed from the gene pool... I mean senority list.

He is done. He was one of the three 20+ year AF guys on the list the other two took recall.

Not bad to see 70 out of 71 come back. I wonder how many of us Long-term LOA guys are still out. Last I heard there were close to 100 of us. I am sure we are a big wildcard for the company because we can come back whenever we want. Kind of hard to plan on that, I would think.
 
I guess the high numbers would be due to many of the CRJ Transition courses and not having much time to move on else where in this economy! Those are really HIGH numbers accepting recall other wise. Very shocked to see that many were so damn willing to go back so quickly.... Good for them but very shocked to see..

Why is it shocking?

The economy is the worst it has been since the 1930's. This job, however inadequate the pay, includes benefits and a steady check. You could certainly do worse. I imagine a number of the furloughees have.
 
I would certainly give up my current job for that. I think that is why I'm killing myself slowly working nights and weekends studying instructing or what have you so I can do that. My friend that works there absolutely loves the job, so if anyone of those guys were like me and worked their tail off to be ready for the job they aren't going to walk away from it very easily. Every circumstance is different, but that is just my opinion. I don't mean to disagree, but my position for me personally says otherwise.

Yeah I imagine the number of furloughees with 3000 hours turbine PIC is pretty low.
 
So I just got my private license and currently have 84 hours.. do you think I have a chance? Two of those 84 are in a multi, how strict are they on their multi times? :dunno:


:D

Come on guys, he even put a :D at the end so you'd know he was joking. Relax a tad.

I saw that and that kept me from laying into him yesterday. However, with that said, what is the point of the post besides to cause reaction (i.e. FLAME)... especially with only 2 post.
 
Maybe the reaction he was looking for was a chuckle. That's the reaction that I had anyway.

:dunno:

As far as the "only 2 post" angle, some people just aren't into posting much. Hard to believe but true.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary I usually try to presume innocence instead of guilt. I spend a LOT of time watching for people that have the sole intention of stirring up the cesspool, and this person doesn't fit the M.O. He/she has been a member since Jun 2008 - I'm pretty sure we'd have more evidence of nefarious motives if they were a troll/flamer type.

Another point that I'd like to make is that if one thinks there is a flame-bait post it is better to use the Report Post function (

) so the Moderators can keep an eye on it. Calling them out and blasting away (talking in general terms now) are counterproductive at best. If the report isn't made, then by the time one of the Moderators stumbles across the mess we sometimes have a small scale riot erupting with claims and counterclaims and lots of hurt feelings. Bleech. :pirate:
