Cherokee_Cruiser · February 7th, 2007, 22:26

As You Are Aware, American Eagle Is
Actively Recruiting New Hire Pilots. Our
Current Projection Needs Are for 60
New Hires Per Month. This Activity Is A
result Of The Recall Of Flowback Pilots
To Aa, activation Of Additional Saabs And
Normal Attrition. All Of This Activity Will
Result In Upgrade And Transition
Opportunities For Current Eagle Pilots.

To Help Meet Our Recruiting Needs We
Are Taking Numerous Steps: We Have
Entered Or Revised Current Bridge
Agreements With A Great Number Of
Credited Aviation Schools. These
Agreements Allow For Applicants To Be
Hired At Eagle With Less Than Our
Normal Hiring Minimums, Based On Their
Schools Programs. Our Recruiting
Department Has Hired Additional
Recruiters, And Reviewed All Internal
Processes To Improve The Flow Rate,
Reduce Administrative Burden And Keep
Us Competitive With Other Airlines. We
Are Also More Flexible In Allowing New
Hires A Choice Of Domicile, With A
Confirmation Prior To Training.

The Next Step We Are Taking Is To Lower
The Minimum Time Requirements For
Applicants To 800 Hours Of Total Time And
100 Hours Of Multi Engine. This Will Also
Allow Us To Compete With Other
Regional Airlines. I Have Our Staff At The
Training Department Reviewing All Of
Our Training Programs, To Determine
Changes They Feel Necessary To Ensure
Our New Hires Meet The High Standards
We Have For Our Line Pilots. While Initial
Requirements May Be Lower, Our High
Standards For Successful Completion
Remain Unaltered.

We Have A Lot Of Positive Things
Happening. Please Continue To Refer
Friends And Acquaintances To American
Eagle. Fast-growing Regionals Promise
Lower Time To Captain, But We All Know
That Changes Occur Quickly In This
Business, Which Can Radically Alter What
Might Happen In Two To Three Years.
Eagle Represents The Opportunity To
Learn From And Fly With The Best In The
Industry From A Carrier With An
Established And Productive Network.
