So his advise to me was stick it out and get that extra 200TT and 50 multi cause it means the diff.... between flying a...... JET.. or a ATR....Upgrade are around 2 years he also mentioned.

Yeah, because you're not a real pilot until you're flying a jet. Screw turboprops!

On the other hand, what good is senority at Eagle if upgrade is taking 5-6 years.....

Most guys, in my opinion won't be there that long.

[Crockrocket94]

I know a few guys that were hired from within FSA with around 270tt with about 50ish multi.

I still dont know how I feel about it.

Thats wierd. Flight Safety normally wont take anyone with less than 1000TT for thier other programs

*ding ding ding* We have a winner.

Scary.

Im gonna play devils advocate on this one. I think all these rumors we hear about low timers getting on is just rumors. Most of it is second hand knowledge that we hear from other people. While there are rare cases of low time hires, I personally talked to Karen and Claudette in recruiting at eagle and they said no matter how desperate they are for pilots, 400/50 is the bare minimums they will look at. And plus, the 400/50 is whats listed on their website but realistically those mins apply to past interns or graduates from Embry Riddle or one of those aviation universities. Seriously, I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers but I just wanted to clear that up before guys with 300 total hours start spending money on airlineapps.com to submit their resumes.

So....now 300 is "low time" but 400/50 isn't quite so much???


¡Ay, caramba!

[ATOflyer]

lowest time i know of for a new hire at eagle so far is 240TT/130ME...with an RJ transition nonetheless. not kidding around either. so i don't think they are really holding on to that 400TT requirement as much as they say they are.

I dunno you might wanna start by asking all of the (insert regional airline's name in here that flies RJ's and trains in Charlotte) new hires that turn their nose when you tell them you are training with PDT. And I quote "oh you're just training on the Dash 8..." Have I answered your question?

I have about 200TT / 40 Multi. Think they'll pay for the remaining 50 hours I need to qualify to take my Commercial checkride, and then pay for the checkride, and then pay for FlightSafety!?

In all seriousness, though, I live in Santa Barbara and would have no problem flying the SAAB out of LAX. It'd be fun. I drive a Saab, and it ain't too shabby

PS: Am willing to split time with anyone with access to a duchess or seminole around LA!

Well, I have seen that conversation too many times at CLT training center. It went like this - "Shhhh....There are a lot of pilots are training for PDT. I feel sorry for them..." That sort of conversaion? The best part - they are just there for interview.

I let Bob to chime in on that issue.

I found out the hard way by wasting my money on airlineapps.com last month. I have 354TT, 45ME. I have gotten 2 replies of need more time and jet bridge course, as well as the usual no responses. I was misinformed about the pilot shortage. You still need to work your way up the hard way in most cases.

Well if they are happy making $12k instructing or $18k flying for someone else that's their business. It seems like people in this industry tend to forget that you have to make a living too.

[Mr.Maximus]

300 hours? Scraping the bottom of the barrel now, what next?

[PLANECOOK]

Well lets face it it does not matter who you fly for as long as you are flying at getting paid to do it.

MINS...... I guess if you get hired on with 300TT consider yourself lucky, but if not I guess it just a sign you need more experience and to just keep chugging away at it. I mean I guess flying for a regional might become a "norm" now that the major and scapping up cash with the $6 gas as some major airports now so they just toss they biz off to the 70 seat regional. I heard that the 70 seaters are really paying of for airline operating those 50-60 percent routes because its just easier to slap that route on a regional parnter.

As far as upgrade times go I hate airlines that advertise 18-24 month for an upgrade and you at their last CA upgrades and they were years ago.You tell me what the deal is with that. O, i like the video on pilot at www.americaneaglecareers.com. I guess they are trying to make regional flying sound glamorous.LOL.... I wish they would mention the pay in the videos..LOL...O and how about the upgrade time....O well, I guess as long as your flying you just got to tough it out at the regional as survice on the 5 buck an hour and 15hour days wages flying jet or non-jet.

Not trying to flame you, bro, but that kind of attitude is why people are willing to fly skybus Airbus A319s for $30k...

Nope. I sent an email as I was asked to do. In return, I was supposed to get all the details. Never heard anything. I thought about sending another email, but then decided against it.

So if I read this correctly, they want close to $80,000?????????????

The way I understood it, they pay for it. I sent an email for clarification, as stated above. So I don;t know for sure.
