So, get a first class. Try to call HR or talk with your network to see if he can do something for you.

Wow, I am kicking myself. I reread the airline apps 'compare app' page. All it puts is a check in the box next to required. I technically do have a first class medical. It is just I have had it since Oct '09.
I guess I should have scrolled down and seen the words, "current first class medical." Surprised that would shoot me down for an interview, but that has got to be it. Guess it is too late now...
Guess what I am doing tomorrow!

I think there is a glitch in the AirlineApps software regarding the medical due to the change in regs back in August 2008 regarding the 1st class medical.
I recently applied via Airline Apps and when I did the compare app function it made it appear as if I did not have a current first class medical. I am under 40 years old and my medical was issued in April 2010, making it valid as a first class medical.
AE seems to be an odd beast in regards to its HR in regards to who they do and don't interview. Being selective is a good thing but I feel they are inconsistent with some of their hiring practices that often times are too induced by policies created by non-pilots.

I got hired with a medical 1.5 years out of date..this isn't a big deal..so long as you have a current 1st class on your first day of training.

The Title says Eagle life; so here is my question. I got hired by AE, and have the carity aloft pro headset. I love them, the are the most comfortable headset around. I have heard issues with them having bleed through on the emb145's. Does anyone working for Eagle, flying eagle's planes have had these issues? If so, are the issues on all the EMB's, does it effect you from doing your job, does it effect the other pilot, is it something to deal with? Just would hate to have to switch after putting down $700 for them. Any feed back would help. Thanks

I used the company DC's for a long time. I asked lots of questions about the different headsets that guys were using. Then I used eBay to get some deals until I found one I liked. I used one for a little while then resold it on eBay. Gotta give it to the Lightspeed Mach 1. Best one I found.

I have had to use the company DCs on two trips after both I was sick as a dog with an ear infection.
