I was one of the 3 that made it on tuesday, and I was not in the pool or a furloughee. I submitted my airlineapp and was called 2 hours later for the interview.
I have 1000+ multi, 900 of that is multi turbine.
Good luck, it was a straight forward process and I can't wait to start class!

That's the thing, if you are furloughed right now, and you haven't touched a plane or haven't had a "flying" job in the past 12 months you are SOL. With American Eagle making it a requirement to have a current flying job, the majority of furloughed pilots won't get a call because they don't meet the requirements.

It is a crappy situation. Flight schools won't hire furloughed airline guys, because they know you will bail as soon as something better comes along. Most 135 companies won't hire 121 guys, because you've been SIC in a glass plane and haven't flown single-pilot IFR in a while or at all. You can't compete for the corporate/charter jobs, because for one, there are very few and you got no chance when you go up against a furloughed NetJets or Flexjet guy. So, the only chance right now to get back into flying would be 121, either by recall or going to another regional, but this "12 month job requirement" just eliminated or reduced your chances of that. So, what are we suppose to do?

heres what equipment flies from where, in case you interviewees and recent new hires are wondering:
DFW: CRJ, EMJ, ATR
LGA/JFK: EMJ
ORD: CRJ, EMJ
LAX: EMJ
MIA/SJU: ATR
at this time the most junior pilot in each status is fairly even except for LAX. I cant imagine not having at least 3-4 bases to choose up to a certain point.
Another thing about that. They may also say "we have 6 spots open in mia, 8 in sju, 11 in dfw, 15 in ord. Or whatever. whoever is the oldest in class gets first pick and if your last, well, u get what the rest didnt want.

Basically, once you pass the interview, they may tell you what bases will be offered at your class date. On the first day of training everyone (in order of age-oldest to youngest) gets to pick a base from the list that are open. After that, in class seniority order by base, you pick the eqp you want. if you dont get what you want the first time, then just wait for the next vacancy to be posted and put in for what you do want. Once the next class starts you will no longer be the most junior guys obviously and can move around more easily.

More questions about getting reffered. I have quite a few AA and Eagle internal recs, but some of them don't know where to actually refer me. There is a link on Jetnet somewhere but all that does is bring them to the Eagle careers website (which I can reach myself) All is that on the careers site is a place to type in my email and their name, and I get an email saying I should apply for XX job. To me it just sounds like I'm getting the email and nothing goes to Eagle HR thats an actual referral.
What should I tell them to do? Email CC, along with her 10 billion + resumes and apps she already has to look through? Or is there another way on Jetnet?
If you need to PM me, you can do so too.
