It does 2 things:
1.It makes sure that the pilot can fly an ILS app.(basic 101 stuff) prior to coming to training.
2.Creates the SJS early on,so when the new hire gets the ATR right of the bat, his or her dreams will get shattered. The fact is that at 500hr he-she cant even fly a prop,worse yet a shiney new jet.

Can U pls elaborate point # 2... "SJS...." ??? Sorry, I am getting used to the terminology.....
Do U mean that people who RJ course will get the Jet because they will do RJ course and have a foundation or it is just to by pass insurance requirements.
The people may still get ATR even after doing the RJ course.

He was trying to be funny. Sjs is shiny jet syndrome. I.e. Guys/girls who feel like they are entitled to fly a jet and feel like their world fell apart cause they got a turboprop. Junior (younger) guys are more likely to get the atr because of how you pick base/equipment (oldest to youngest in class) in ground school.

Heard from a former coworker that Eagle has accepted delivery of all the CRJ-700 aircraft that they ordered, and believes they're fully staffed for those planes already. Maybe the only hiring into the CRJ would be attrition. Completing the CRJ course would still be helpful for transitioning to a regional jet, regardless of Embraer or Bombardier.

Found this to be somewhat of a pleasant surprise:

No, it doesn't matter what your background is when you pick from what is available. The course is designed to give you knowledge and experience that will help you pass Eagle's ground school and SIM. On the first day of training you will be assigned seniority based on age in your class (oldest to youngest). Then the list of equipment matching the amount of people in your class will be posted on the board and the fun begins.... Bidding based on seniority. I know of people who had over 1,000 hrs on the mighty CRJ and got the ATR while someone with 1,000 hrs on the Dash got the ERJ. Todays class can have 40 RJs and no ATR and the next class can have most ATRs. Bases and equipment will vary as age where the equipment will go (ATR mostly goes junior) A 22 year old can get the CRJ on one class and on the next it might take being 30 to hold an RJ... It all depends on what is available, and what the demographics of your class are.

all of this will make sense when you are hired and in class, for now, do well in the interview and the "CRJ" transition course
good luck

Getting the ATR is the best thing that has happened to me at eagle. I hold 2days with weekends off and have barley been here a year. So if you get the ATR you can plan on a better QOL sooner than the emb or crj

The way i see it at eagle hiring is the only people that really have a problem are the younger turbine experienced guys. I mean it does suck to downgrade equipment if you already have experience. For the rest tho it probably shouldn't matter what airplane you get, if it does then you really have the SJS. If your like 23 and scared of getting the ATR then I would reevaluate your career choice. Flying a prop will be good for you anyways, same pay as RJ and counts the same turbine time in your log book as an RJ. Plus you can bid RJ after 12 months.
