Pretty low, but not impossible. I was in the 3/14 class and there were only 5 DFW ERJ slots and they were the first to go. I was 11 out of 30 and DFW was gone by the time my turn came around. ORD had quite a few more ERJ and CRJ slots.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think the youngest guy in our class to get a jet was 24..so if your class is anything like mine you will be borderline ATR/ERJ.

I believe that, but like you said can't have the debt up to your eyeballs. Even then it would make me worry trying to cover a monthly mortgage.

Eagle Questions!

Hey everybody, im new to the forumns here. Had a few questions about Eagle and I think im the right spot, if not, a point in the right direction would be great. Anyway, I notice Eagles min are 800/100, well i pretty much have exactly that with about 20 hours of sic citation time. Ive had my airlineapps done for a while even below mins and of coarse got no call but are my chances of actually getting a call just after meeting minimums any good? I currently work at a dropzone just stackin as much time as possible, got my CMEL, CSEL, Instrument, but no CFI. I also read about the "decade upgrade" and all that, is the upgrade time REALLY that long? im 23 so I have some time to work with but Im just curious.

1st time caller, long time listener. Does anyone know the dimensions of the space for a kit bag in the CRJ-700? I want to know what size kit bag I should pick up.
Thanks.

Also, how does eagle work as far aircraft and base assignment with new hires? do they get any kind of choice or is it you get what you get and thats that. Im from the Keys and movin back down their and flying out of miami would be great. But doubt that is possible.
