By inviting you to the interview they know you have the required experience to be hired, but they want to see if they can spend a 4-day trip with you in the cockpit.
, congratulations! when is the drug test and review board ?

I have a class date scheduled for Colgan but would rather be at AE so I guess I need to tell Colgan thanks, but no thanks. I just don't want to get screwed later and find out that I didn't make it pas the review board.

I interviewed yesterday and out of 4 of us I was the only one who got the pre-offer letter. One was sent home within minutes because of paper work issues and the others were sent home after everything was completed. Of course they don't tell you why you were sent home, but they both thought everything went well. The gouges on willflyforfood.com are spot on.
I would reemphasis the safety part as well. Just be yourself. They are looking for people who will not only be a great pilot but someone who will fit the American Eagle culture and work well with others.

Not sure. They told me it will probably be about a month before I hear anything back because of all the background information that needs to be collected.

Congrats Pirate! See if you can move your class date at Colgan before you just tell them no, just in case something comes up at the Captain's review board. From what I have been told (still waiting on the call for the medical myself) if you got this far, about the only way you aren't in is if you didn't reveal something that shows up on your background check.

Do NOT cancel your Colgan class until you are sitting in class in Fort Worth. Put them off or go ahead and start there if you have to and decide whether to leave for Eagle when the time comes.
Eagle's a very good regional (relatively speaking of course, and looong upgrade time notwithstanding) but the future here is murky. Unless you just want to live in a specific base that AE has and Colgan does not, you might decide that Colgan would be better anyway.
Good luck.

I have a buddy who called to push back showtime in Memphis and Colgan wouldn't accomodate his request. I'm not sure the reason he gave, but it was a "no".
If you're not keeping anything from AE (background) you should be good to go. Eagle's upgrade time is slow but Colgan's upgrade time has slowed as well. The question is where would you rather be stuck as an FO? I personally would choose AE. 65 will come full swing which will hit American and the domino effect will help out Eagle upgrades.
Also, E145 or Saab 340??? Thats a tough one

Did you include fax numbers for your previous places of employment? That helped speed up the background check process back in the day when I came on. They need to fax forms to your previous employers to fill out and sign. I also called my previous employers to let them know to expect a call/fax from Eagle.
