You guys have been very helpful so far but here's another question: Apparently airlineapps doesn't know that dual received during one's IFR training can also be logged as PIC and therefore there's a discrepancy from my logbook's PIC and my airlineapps PIC (~20 hours). So is this an issue during the interview or the recruiters are aware of the way airlineapps logs dual received?

Thanks!
20hrs is not that bad. I had about 70hrs pic that I didn't wrote in airline apps.

I preferred to dont have discrepancies in total time. After all the flight time grid that American eagle gives you a flight time grid, which includes dual pic.

Regarding American Eagle, and other airlines for that matter, how much of a driving history do they really want? Would they just want the previous ten years, or everything since you were sixteen years old? For instance, I received my last speeding ticket in 1997. The one before that was 1992. I don't think you can even get a record from the state that goes that far back. Does anyone have a similar situation?

Eagle wants 5 years certified. Some airlines don't even ask for it. My state only gives a 3 year certified record and Eagle was ok with that.

There may be a thread somewhere on here but I couldn't find it. Can someone tell me if Eagle will allow you to flight instruct while you are on reserve? Or can you do it, just not for compensation, i.e. for friends and family. Thx.

Have to get approval from your Chief Pilot to do it for compensation or hire. Ive never heard of anyone getting approval. It would be a dangerous game to play even to do it for friends/family. What is "compensation"? Hours in the logbook towards your career advancement? Dinner out at a restaurant? Enjoyment of being up in an airplane?

How is the interview for former 121 pilots? I was furloughed back in 2008 and have been flying 135 since then. Just wondering if I have to concentrate more on 135, 121 or both to prepare for the upcoming interview. Also, I've been flying a Caravan....will they ask system questions on my last aircraft flown, or since it was a single-engine they might just ask questions regarding my last twin, or even the EMB145 flown 3 years ago

Thank again.

They asked me to pick an airplane I knew the best. They first asked what airplanes I've been flying. If I were you, I would prepare the EMB because that is what we fly here.

You will be maxed out, so you won't be able to fly extra. Just saying...

They asked me what twin I instruct in, then he said what is the last plane on the last line of your log book. I told him the C-172, and he asked really basic questions on it. Not that big of a deal just know one really well and konw the important stuff on the others. I wont stress over it too much and you will be fine.
